Just a quick question for you lads. Are we now automatically entered into the 2029 Club World Cup as the holders, or would we need to win the Champions League again in the next 4 years to qualify and take part? I'm sure that Steve or someone else on here would know the answer for me.

I think win the CL

But who knows, FIFA might change things in the next 4 years

Hi Soc, I think with Countries when it comes to World Cup's the previous winners (or host nation's) are there automatically but UEFA competitions have to be re-qualified for no?

If not we'll just have to win the CL again!!

Chelsea have held fresh talks for Ajax defender Jorrel Hato as they explore defensive reinforcements.

Probably the defensive cover we require - can play CB/LB

As reigning Champions we do not gain entry into the next CWCup, entry is determined by Winning the C/L or the European what ever it is called, not the conference.

I hope that is helpful

Thanks Iffy!! Winning it again will be a piece of p iss!!

‼️ Chelsea’s victory over Paris St-Germain in the final is expected to help the club secure a new front-of-shirt sponsor that could be worth £100 million more than the offers they resisted last year.

Chelsea’s players are in line to earn bonuses in the region of £350,000-a-man for lifting the Club World Cup.

~ @TeleFootball

Chelsea were in talks with two companies last year over front-of-shirt sponsorship, but that the long-term deals on the table were worth about £40 million-per-year.

Chelsea decided to hold off and that figure has now rocketed to £60 million-a-year.

~ @TeleFootball

No [Chelsea will not qualify automatically for the next CWC], that is not how it works any more.

Chelsea must either qualify through winning the Champions League or Europa League over the next three seasons, or build a very good coefficient.

Think that was for the kit manufacturer not sponsor? Puma right?

Ours with Nike is worth £60m a season.

Yeah, host country

Same for world cup, no?

Didnt inter miami win something to get in

The desperation to get CR7 there was more embarrassing

🗣 Paul Merson: "For me, at Chelsea, I'd have always played Jadon Sancho ahead of him [Madueke].

Chelsea just won't believe that this deal has come to them. They won't believe their luck."

~ @SkySports

Matt Law - Chelsea are in talks with up to 10 big global companies over their front of shirt sponsorship

So Maresca....my feeling was that most of us on here felt jury still out on him, but wanted him to have a 2nd season.

But after this tournament and especially the final, have people's views changed?
