Rangers in line for £25m Club World Cup invitation but money-spinning USA adventure hinges on MAJOR factor

dailyrecord.co.uk:

Rangers are going to the USA in 2025 if they manage to clinch their place in the revamped edition of the lucrative FIFA Club World Cup.The Premiership side are, as it stands, one of the 12 UEFA team who would play in the money-spinning event in June and July 2025.

Rangers would qualify for one of the dozen European spots on offer because of their coefficient ranking over the last three years, although the upcoming season's results will also be used and they will need to build on lengthy runs like 2022's journey to the Europa League final to ensure participation.

Only one club per country can qualify which means that clubs with higher coefficient than Rangers would miss out and open the door for the Ibrox club.The tournament is estimated to be worth as much as a minimum of £25 million per team as it prepares for a dramatic revamp from its 7-team form and FIFA have just announced the venues will be in the USA.

Last month, reports claimed the new competition 'will have the biggest club prize pot in the history of the game.'Its format has yet to be decided but all 32 teams will be guaranteed at least three games each playing in eight groups of four, it's been suggested.
