Club World Cup 2029. Comfortable Sporting, Benfica at risk and FC Porto difficult

The qualification scenario for Portuguese clubs in the 2029 Club World Cup has changed significantly. Sporting is in a strong position to qualify, while Benfica faces risks of missing out. Sporting has consistently earned points in the Champions League, placing them in the top-10 of the FIFA qualification ranking. In contrast, Benfica, currently outside the Champions League, is not accumulating points, jeopardizing their chances. FC Porto also faces challenges, needing near-perfect seasons to qualify. Benfica relies on direct competitors to score few points and must return to the Champions League next season to improve their situation.
