What Will Barcelona Miss Out On
The absence of Barcelona in the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup is a loss of the main opportunity to reclaim the position in the international arena.

On the financial point of view the club loses all the prize money equal to up to $125 million and the revenues provided through television rights and match bonuses which is the resources which an organization in ecconomic tension simply cannot lose.
