Talk:2025 FIFA Club World Cup

Espérance de Tunis

Why are you adding Espérance de Tunis ? It is clearly said : "If a club wins two or more seasons of their confederation's top club competition, additional teams will be determined by a club ranking of the four-year period."? But not during the year, it will be at the end of the four-year period.

It is not mentionned that the highest non-qualified team has qualified to replace the winner of the CAF Champions League 2023-2024 during that year, we must wait after the 2023–24 CAF Champions League to declare who will replace the winner of the 2022–23 CAF Champions League. So the berth of the Winners of the 2022–23 CAF Champions League will go the highest club AT THE END of the four-year period, and it's way to soon to affirm that it will be Espérance de Tunis.

I looked across all the Internet and didn't find a single source mentionning that Espérance de Tunis has qualified, even from FIFA.

What if a club other than Tunis is better ranked AFTER the 2023-2024 period ?

If you keep insisting that Tunis qualified, please remove the "Slot allocation and qualification" section because otherwise it is non-sense with your claim.

As of today, it is impossible to say that Espérance de Tunis has qualified, even FIFA has not publied something about it. 2A01:CB14:11BC:CF00:35A4:B16E:1FBC:DD2 (talk) 22:51, 24 May 2023 (UTC)

What's more it is said "The calculation method for the four-year club rankings within each confederation will be based on sporting criteria during seasons completed between 2021 and 2024, and will be finalized after consultation with confederations and stakeholders.". So the calculation of the ranking is clearly at the end of the four-year period, and today we can't know it is for sure Espérance de Tunis which qualified, we have to wait until the end of 2023-2024.

So please, read the section and stop adding Espérance de Tunis, because sa for today, it is not true. Maybe they will qualify, but today we can't say that it is true. 2A01:CB14:11BC:CF00:35A4:B16E:1FBC:DD2 (talk) 22:53, 24 May 2023 (UTC)

I agree with the IP, the ranking method was meant for at the end of the 4 Champions League competitions, and not just the best ranked of this competition. Mwiqdoh (talk) 06:55, 25 May 2023 (UTC)

UEFA teams

I see no doubt that we should add Bayern Munich, PSG in the allocation places for UEFA. Japhes23 (talk) 14:59, 11 June 2023 (UTC)

Not yet. Wait until the top 8 are confirmed. I did previously add Inter Milan and Bayern Munich but no one knows yet. Probably next year after the Champions League. Digitslain12 (talk) 16:08, 19 November 2023 (UTC)

no one knows yet?

they have so much points in 4 years ranking, that they are safe in Top8 after this season. And there is a source. Future-Trunks (talk) 12:53, 30 November 2023 (UTC)

OK then if you provide the source, I'll add it in. Digitslain12 (talk) 12:57, 30 November 2023 (UTC)

This was the source

Inter qualify for 2025 Club World Cup - Serpents of Madonnina

an here is the 4 year Ranking:

UEFA 4-year Club Coefficient ranking (World Cup) (fotcalc.com)

it is not official, but very easy to sum the numbers, so it should be right.

this is the last season of the 4 years and in k.o. round there are 17 Points maixmum to get. and 2 points on matchday 6 in group phase and 5 points to qualify for k.o. round (only not qualified teams can get these 5 points, the other have them already)

so there are maximum 19 or 24 points to made. Future-Trunks (talk) 08:06, 4 December 2023 (UTC)

so indeed Paris is also qualified for world cup if you look at the table, but there ist no source, which told it yet. Future-Trunks (talk) 08:10, 4 December 2023 (UTC)

alright got it Digitslain12 (talk) 13:43, 4 December 2023 (UTC)

Terms we use

Alright, I'll leave it here to start but because of a Wikipedia consensus, any event in the United States without exception must use the term soccer. I understand that our non-American readers will disagree and take offense, but this is from MOS:TIES. Now I don't know if Wikipedia will ever have a discussion about this again, but the decision was made and it will stand. Digitslain12 (talk) 23:26, 29 November 2023 (UTC)

To say non-American (or rather mostly European and African, soccer IS used outside the Americas as well) readers will be offended is a bit of an exaggeration.Tvx1 00:51, 10 December 2023 (UTC)

ok yeah was much. Digitslain12 (talk) 01:20, 10 December 2023 (UTC)

MOS:TIES specifies strong national ties to a topic. Given that the topic is about an edition of an internationally-governed competition where participating teams are from all over the world, I don't agree that there is a "strong national" tie to the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup. Frojas798 (talk) 16:29, 18 December 2023 (UTC)

MOS:TIES says "strong ties to a particular English-speaking nation." And the topic of this article is 2025 FIFA Club World Cup, not FIFA Club World Cup. For this tournament, that particular English-speaking nature would be the United States, as it is the host of the tournament. This is the same reasoning that established consensus for the 1994 FIFA World Cup and the 2026 FIFA World Cup, so we should be using American English and MDY dating conventions. Jay eyem (talk) 19:39, 18 December 2023 (UTC)

Status

The background section currently states that in December 2022 the expansion was still not approved and legal action was threatened against in. Then it jumps to June 2023 with the announcment of the host country and the format. So what’s the situation. Have the six confiderations approved the expansion then? What happened with the legal action? Tvx1 01:01, 10 December 2023 (UTC)

Semi-protected edit request on 18 December 2023

Remove Sevilla from note 9. Since they were eliminated from all UEFA Competitions they can't possibly gain more coefficient points, which makes it impossible for them to qualify (they can't overtake Barcelona). Juventus should also be eliminated from this note, as they are not able to play any UEFA matches this season, making it also impossible for them to get enough points to get ahead of Roma.

The note should read "A further Italian team (one of Roma or Napoli) is guaranteed to finish in the top eight eligible teams in the ranking." Frojas798 (talk) 16:18, 18 December 2023 (UTC)

one spot will go to one of the following teams: PSV, Copenhagen, Arsenal (if they win the champions league) or Salzburg (if none of the previous ones wins the champions league). 5.90.113.131 (talk) 12:02, 19 December 2023 (UTC)

Presentation of the 4-year coefficient ranking

I would suggest showing the 4-year rankings (based on UCL only) for qualification in the article. Unfortunately, so far I only know of this one website for UEFA (FOTCALC - 4-year-ranking), which is updated regularly after UCL-Match days.

That's why I'm reluctant to include this when there isn't a website for reference for the other confederations. Miria~01 (talk) 15:58, 19 December 2023 (UTC)

@Miria~01 I am an afc fan and I collect the ranking for afc but. I have some questions 122.187.144.98 (talk) 03:11, 20 December 2023 (UTC)

CLUB RANKING AND QUALIFICATION

- Clubs will be ranked based on sporting criteria over four seasons to secure qualification for the Club World Cup.

- Teams will get three points for a win, one point for a draw and three points for progress to each stage of their confederation's premier competition. 122.187.144.98 (talk) 03:11, 20 December 2023 (UTC)

Are by this rule any knockout or qualifier match win gives you 6 points 122.187.144.98 (talk) 03:12, 20 December 2023 (UTC)

If such then i have summed up the contenders for afc ranking slot 122.187.144.98 (talk) 03:14, 20 December 2023 (UTC)

(non champions)

• Jeonbuk Hyundai Motors- 67 points
• Ulsan Hyundai - 62 points
• Pohang Steelers,Kawasaki Frontale - 51 points
• Al Nassr - 49 points

Max point gained by acl knockout teams from PQF to ending up as runners up is 18 points and say if jeonbuk wins acl and you need to topple ulsan else in other case you need to topple jeonbuk so only these teams can qualify. So these are the contenders (i have the analysis but hard to put here else the talk page will be flooded) 122.187.144.98 (talk) 03:27, 20 December 2023 (UTC)

Rest confederations are with longer list than afc so cant make now 122.187.144.98 (talk) 03:53, 20 December 2023 (UTC)

Let them start or reach knockout 122.187.144.98 (talk) 03:53, 20 December 2023 (UTC)

Ref of afc list is all champions league matches 122.187.144.98 (talk) 03:57, 20 December 2023 (UTC)

Also I have counted only acl matches as ranking no respective national tournaments if really counted no sign of that in counting rules 122.187.144.98 (talk) 10:50, 20 December 2023 (UTC)

In My opinion there shouldnt be Salzburg and Benfica/Porto (maybeonlyoneofthem) but Barca and Liverpool...but this are Fifa Regulations notn mine... Eschmer71 (talk) 17:53, 29 April 2024 (UTC)

4. Fluminense (Qualified as Champion)

This is not said in club coefficient ranking whether we start from competition proper or not. —🪦VSVNB1058 (2020-2023) (TALK) 13:14, 19 February 2024 (UTC)

Hello it´s not said but the Logic whould say that is would be a disadvantage for the Teams who haven't to play the qualifikation round.

But here They tell it starts with the GROUP STAGE:

The Council unanimously confirmed the club ranking methodology to be used as part of the key principles of access, which were approved at the Council’s meeting in March 2023.

With the objective of ensuring the highest quality possible based on sporting criteria over the most recent four seasons, starting from the group stage of the confederation’s relevant premier club competition, and incentivising the result of every game in the respective tournament, the following methodology for the new standard ranking was approved:

3 points for a win

1 point for a draw

3 points for progress to each stage of the competition

Only Difference is Europe:

In the case of European clubs, given that three full seasons and a full group stage of the fourth season of the UEFA Champions League have already been completed, and since UEFA has an existing club coefficient system, the current pre-existing methodology principles for the purpose of calculating the UEFA club coefficient in relation to matches in the UEFA Champions League only will be exceptionally applied to determine the ranking of European clubs for the FIFA Club World Cup 2025™.

The approved methodology for the ranking of European teams is therefore as follows:

2 points for a win

1 point for a draw

4 points for qualification for the group stage

5 points for qualification for the round of 16

1 point for progress to each stage of the competition thereafter

Thats from the Website of FIFA

Starting with round of 16 all teams may hav the same Chance to get points...

I Think 33 Points are maximium to get as Runner up (9+9+9+6).

And if there will be a new Champion the CONCACAF Table doesnt have any meaning.

CONCACAF gets 4 Places and 1 Place will be another USA Team. Eschmer71 (talk) 21:26, 19 February 2024 (UTC)

Yes you are right because there is only one Final not home and away match...

maximum 30 Points (9+9+9+3) Eschmer71 (talk) 22:18, 19 February 2024 (UTC)

Doesn't US already have 2 teams? Seattle and host slot? So I think that US teams would be excluded if Monterrey would win it this year. Right now it would be Alajuelense, Communicaciones, or Violette depending on how they deal with points during first round because of the byes. OblongBubbles (talk) 19:15, 20 February 2024 (UTC)

FIFA didn't tell anything about this I don't think that the US Team would be not taken into account.

The FIFA plus article lists all the slots including the host slot and then right below that it says 2 clubs per country except if they all win their top continental club competition. I think it's pretty clear it'll only be 2 clubs for the US. But we shall see. OblongBubbles (talk) 19:54, 20 February 2024 (UTC)

In CONCACAF its quiet different then in Europe and Southern America if there is a New Champion (who diddn`t win the 3 previous Competitions) the whole Table is nice to have but completely irrelevant. Then the Winner goes further and the Nationship of him is also irrelevant because Champions are automatically in the Tournament. Eschmer71 (talk) 16:31, 21 February 2024 (UTC)

Now it's like that the last Spot of CONCACAF goes to the new winner of the actual Final :

either Pachuca or Columbus Crew... it's played in Pachuca when I good understand...

If there is only one match you can get 3 Points (for the match) and 3 points for the round the looser also gets the 3 points for the round he has reached...If there are 2 games per Round you can get 9 Points (3+3 for the matches und 3 points for reaching the round)...but not 6+6=12 !

Depends on who wins the competition you count every points when Al Nassr wins every game they win the cup and are in the tournament, other way a former Champion (Al Hilal) wins and they reach more Points then Ulsan Hyundai...

But if another Saudi Arabian Team win the AFC Champions League they are directly out.

Add 6 points to jeonbuk, al nassr and 7 to ulsan hd —🪦VSVNB1058 (2020-2023) (TALK) 03:26, 23 February 2024 (UTC)

Okay, so here's what we have.

Al Nassr is at 58. They can win twice to 67, win twice to 76, and then win one game in the Champions League final to get to 79 for the purposes of the AFC coefficients.

Currently Jeonbuk is at 79, which would be a potential tie for Al Nassr for a singular berth. Ulsan is at 71. The two play each other.

For Al Nassr to tie Jeonbuk, they have to lose both games to Ulsan, which would rocket them ahead to 80 points and Al Nassr is below them.

It looks to me that Al Nassr must either (a) win Champions League or (b) pick up enough points to pass Ulsan and then lose to Jeonbuk in the Champions League final. Wjmorris3 (talk) 03:57, 23 February 2024 (UTC)

I made the change to remove the extra Spanish flag on the account, but this is heavily inaccurate. If you read it as it is now it shows that the Spanish might receive 3slots which is incorrect.

AFC Qualification

So we now have official numbers from FIFA, and they are here:

https://www.fifa.com/fifa-rankings/mundial-de-clubes

On the AFC tab, we have Jeonbuk at 79, Ulsan at 71, and Al Nassr at 58.

Al Nassr can gain at most 21 points without winning Champions League - they win both games against Al Ain, and then win both games against either Al-Hilal or Al-Ittihad. They they win one of the two games against the East Asian bracket representative, and lose the other, losing the final in the process. This puts them at 79.

Jeonbuk and Ulsan play each other in the quarterfinals. As long as Jeonbuk draws at least one of the two games, they get to 80, and are guaranteed ahead of Al Nassr. But if they don't draw at least one of the two games, Ulsan must win them both, giving them an additional 9 points, putting them on 80 points. Either way, a Korean club will be guaranteed to go to Club World Cup - either one of Jeonbuk or Ulsan will win AFC Champions League and therefore clinch, or someone else will and one of those Korean sides will be tops in the rankings.

Some sort of legend is needed as it's not clear what the colours mean. I assume green = "currently in a qualifying position" and red = "cannot qualify"? If so, I'm on board with removing the red teams. BLAIXX 13:49, 10 April 2024 (UTC)

@Blaixx@Chris1834@Island92@Matilda Maniac, I understood your issues and collapsed those table and trimmed wording. ‍—🪦NΛSΛ B1058 (TALK) 15:42, 10 April 2024 (UTC)

The point is different. This page regards the 2025 edition (hence the final tournament with all the teams qualified) rather than a qualification page with teams in contention to qualify or not for the specific edition. Those tables should not be there IMOP. Island92 (talk) 18:15, 10 April 2024 (UTC)

I agree. I actually like the way they looked before but they should be in a qualification article. Chris1834 Talk 18:27, 10 April 2024 (UTC)

I disagree that a separate qualification article is required, as it is not a separate qualification competition, it is several independent main competitions and a separate ranking system based on results from those independent main competitions. To fork the larger or smaller tables into a separate qualification article does not seem to be sensible. Links to those separate competitions do. Tables showing the remaining teams that can still qualify would be a table that shrinks over time and then disappears, fully replaced by the table of teams that did qualify. That prevents the need for a separate article. Matilda Maniac (talk) 22:25, 10 April 2024 (UTC)

@Matilda Maniac it can be collapsed so it's users choice ‍—🪦NΛSΛ B1058 (TALK) 05:29, 11 April 2024 (UTC)

I could get behind this but if that is the way we want to do it, then the OFC table should be gone as Auckland is qualified. Also, in line with that, CONCACAF should be gone as well as Philadelphia have secured that spot if it becomes available through ranking and it is noted as such in the qualification table. Is a table of 1 really a table?

When they get down to one team, collapsing doesn't do anything. It still takes up the same amount of vertical space in the article. Chris1834 Talk 13:42, 11 April 2024 (UTC)

Na headers of table like team match win and everything are gone on collapsing and just say concacaf clubs is left ‍—🪦NΛSΛ B1058 (TALK) 01:46, 12 April 2024 (UTC)

OFC table should now disappear. CONCACAF table should stay until it is determined IF Philadelphia have secured qualification by this route or not (they are still in contention). CONMEBOL table has just shrunk by one with today's result. Matilda Maniac (talk) 02:09, 12 April 2024 (UTC)

There are now reverts going back and forward to remove this section from the article, based on a similar (but not quite the same) situation which existed at : This link. This should be further debated here, or perhaps soon at WP:FOOTY, rather than in major deletes with lengthy edit summaries. Matilda Maniac (talk) 09:29, 19 April 2024 (UTC)

@Bmf 051: You should discuss the merits of keeping or removing the eligible teams 4-year ranking table here, rather than just referring to a more private debate at a User's talk page (and its links to a particular 'consensus' that was reached), as the basis for the removal.

My argument is that the 'consensus' referred to relates to the type of table introduced by User:Bmf 051, and subsequently reverted, not the type of table relating to the 4-year rankings (similar to the use of tables for UEFA coefficients used for qualification purposes). An argument that if we can't have one table, we can't have either table, is spurious. Showing all the teams that can qualify for the 2024 Copa Libertadores is unnecessary as it can be easily gleaned from that article by clicking on the link. Matilda Maniac (talk) 04:25, 5 May 2024 (UTC)

@Matilda Maniac: Could you please provide the source of the information in that table? Specifically a source which indicates which teams are "in contention" and which are not. The rankings provided by FIFA's website do not show that, for example. It's difficult to have a discussion about the merits of keeping or removing information when the legitimacy of the information itself is unclear. Bmf 051 (talk) 06:08, 5 May 2024 (UTC)

@Matilda Maniac the tables are listed officially at the Fifa side...https://www.fifa.com/fifa-rankings/mundial-de-clubes

The possibility for south american team is that much because the actual Copa Libertadores is just in the group stage first of all every team which isn't eleminated can go through the Champions path...over the ranking it looks like River Plate will be safe in the tournament because they are clearly in front and they make a good job in the group stage right now 3 wins in 3 matches...other teams have to overcome Boca Juniors they cant get more Points then they actual have because they arent in this competition...and the much places come over the rating depends on which team wins the cup...no brazilian team can go over the ranking way because all competing South American Champions come from Brazil (3 Teams/3 Winners) and maximium is 2 per country exceptional Winners of continental competitions... Eschmer71 (talk) 10:50, 5 May 2024 (UTC)

Based on indentation and context, I believe that comment may have been intended for me (correct me if I am wrong). Where is the source that teams near the bottom of the table (for example) are still in contention? Note: I'm not asking you to prove it is true. I am asking you to provide a source saying that. I fully understand what you are saying. But I'm asking for a source. Bmf 051 (talk) 11:24, 5 May 2024 (UTC)

Look here is a side with calculation year by year as you can see the most points one team got are 52 in one year (!!!) till now we aren't far away from starting the Competition so much teams could perform like that the points of Olimpia Asuncion are counting (57) because if a former winner wins the cup like Al Hilal (AFC) or Al Ahly (CAF) there will be 3 spots over the table...Asuncion can't get more points same as Boca Juniors they couldn't qualify for this competition...So every Team who is in the competition might be champion and can go this way and if a team gets summary more then 57 points and on of the former winners wins another time they can also qualify...source are this independent side and the table side of fifa... https://footyrankings.com/cwc/CONMEBOL/ Eschmer71 (talk) 11:49, 5 May 2024 (UTC)

This indicates which teams can qualify via performance, which includes winning the Copa Libertadores. It for instance shows that Penarol can still qualify, though they are not in the rankings on this page. Where is the source that those listed on this page are the only teams that may qualify via ranking, or that teams not listed cannot? Bmf 051 (talk) 12:05, 5 May 2024 (UTC)

It's simple a team what hasn't competed in an former competition or which belongs to brazil can only go further with getting CHAMPION:

Atletico Mineiro, FC Sao Paulo

Huachipato, Rosario Central, Palestino, Gremio, Botafogo, Millionaros, Cobresal, San Lorenzo

If an Argentinian Team gets Champion Boca can't go further over the Ranking because River Plate

ist in front over them...

RANKING:

1. River Plate 76 Points, 2. Boca Juniors 71 Points(El.), 3. Olimpia Asuncion 57 Points(El.), 4. Nacional Montevideo 49 Points, 5. Independiente del Valle 45 Points, 6. Cerro Porteno 44 Points, 7. Barcelona Guayaquil 42 Points, 8. Bolivar LaPaz 36 Points, 9. Talleres, Sao Paulo, The Stronges, Estudiantes all 34 Points 13. Libertad 33 Points and 9 other Teams between 26 and 13 Points... Eschmer71 (talk) 12:49, 5 May 2024 (UTC)

Again, we don't want your explanation. We need a source. For example, explain why Penarol cannot qualify via ranking. They have 16 points and may earn 42 more. This gives them enough to pass Olimpia. You and I know that they can't earn 42 points without winning the competition themselves. But that require advanced knowledge, beyond just basic arithmetic. That sort of information requires a source. Not an explanation from an editor. Otherwise, it is WP:OR. Bmf 051 (talk) 13:00, 5 May 2024 (UTC)

Maximum 42-points left to be achieved

• 3 games left at group stage = max. 9 points
• Round of 16, Quarter, Semi, Final = 7 games = max. 21 points
• Bonus points for knockout-stages: max. 12 points to final

-----

If River Plate wins Copa Libertadores 2024, at least Olimpia with currently 57 points must be surpassed. Miria~01 (talk) 12:57, 5 May 2024 (UTC)

I'm not asking for an explanation. I'm asking for a source. This is your own work. And it doesn't fall under basic computations that don't require sources, because it requires knowledge of how these various tournaments work. It is unapologetically WP:OR unless you have the source. Bmf 051 (talk) 13:03, 5 May 2024 (UTC)

Now Are 45 Points to get as Champion if you don't win you can get 39 Points then you might have 19 Points now to have a chance to go through as Runner up Eschmer71 (talk) 12:58, 5 May 2024 (UTC)

I'm not asking for an explanation. I'm asking for a source. Where is the source? You can do all the math you want, but without the source it is OR. Look at my profile. I am a mathematician. I can do these things forwards and backwards. That's not the point. Where is the source? Bmf 051 (talk) 13:05, 5 May 2024 (UTC)

WP:CALC Routine calculations do not count as original research. Miria~01 (talk) 13:09, 5 May 2024 (UTC)

This is not a routine calculation. It requires knowledge of the structure and other minutia of various tournaments. Not just basic math. And as Eschmer71 shows above, it is easy to get wrong: Eschmer71 says that 45 points go to the champion, when it's actually 42 because they haven't accounted for the fact that the final is one leg.

But lets say for a second that this is a routine calculation. Even then, there was already a consensus reached a year ago that teams in contention should not be in these articles: Talk:2023 FIFA Club World Cup#Team in contention. Bmf 051 (talk) 13:51, 5 May 2024 (UTC)

It is correct that only max. 40-points (b\c draw possible, but winning would be the direct qulification) should be and are considered in this table (thats why eg. Peñarol has no chance to qualify}. Nonetheless, there are no bonus points for the title. Neither in the UEFA five-year rankings nor here at FIFA.According to you, Flamengo should have received 55 points for 2022, which was not the case. Miria~01 (talk) 13:38, 5 May 2024 (UTC)

45 Points to get plus 12 Points which some teams have are 57 Points Maximium in this Competion but only for teams with 12 Points now : Atletico Mineiro (BRA) irrelevant, River Plate and Bolivar LaPaz... Eschmer71 (talk) 13:23, 5 May 2024 (UTC)

All of this discussion about how the calculations work only reinforces the fact that these are not routine calculations a la WP:CALC and that they require a more nuanced understanding of how these various tournaments work. I really do believe this information, when pruned to only show "teams in contention", needs to have a source if it is going to be included.

But I think we're also ignoring the fact that there was already a consensus on this just a year ago (here and here). In light of that, I think it would be better to post this to WP:FOOTY and try to get a better consensus, which I have done here.

I'm not trying to stifle the discussion above or anything. I just think if there was a wider consensus previously, we should try to gain such a consensus again. Also I think the discussion above has devolved into a "pissing contest" about calculations, and who can do them correctly, rather than a discussion about sources, etc. Bmf 051 (talk) 22:06, 5 May 2024 (UTC)

An alternative format is presented here that just captures the leading teams, which is available directly from the FIFA website (a primary source), and therefore meets WP:OR and needs no additional calculations. Of course assumes FIFA keep this part ofthe table up-to-date, but they have during the group stage at the end of the round.

Leading teams still in contention for qualification through four-year confederations rankings

Matilda Maniac (talk) 01:06, 7 May 2024 (UTC)

I'm totally on board with the idea of only showing a maximum of teams. Also for future editions of this tournament, I would always use the number of slots that are still available for the best-ranked clubs (not yet qualified as champions) in the respective confederation. As it is shown in the table above for CONMEBOL (equivalent to https://inside.fifa.com/en/fifa-rankings/mundial-de-clubes: marked in orange Currently qualified clubs).Miria~01 (talk) 14:10, 7 May 2024 (UTC)

Yesterday Fifa has published that River Plate will be safe qualified if they win the next game because they get 3 Points for the win and another 3 for reaching next round means totally 6 points to the 76 = 82 Points and connot be overhauled.
