larepublica.pe (Spanish)

The FIFA and Chelsea mistakenly announced Club América's participation in the 2025 Club World Cup, despite their elimination. This error was quickly corrected. Chelsea initially listed América as a rival in a social media post, while FIFA sent an email including América in a list of participating teams. The team had lost a qualifying match. The actual team playing in the tournament will be Flamengo, as the error stemmed from América's loss to LAFC in a qualifying match.
