Eight teams have qualified for the inaugural FIFA Women's Club World Cup in January 2028, including Brazilian champions Cruzeiro after winning the Copa Libertadores on penalties.

The inaugural FIFA Women's Club World Cup will take place from 5–30 January 2028 in the United States, with eight teams already confirmed for the tournament.

Cruzeiro became the latest qualifiers after winning the 2026 Copa Libertadores final against Corinthians in a dramatic penalty shootout. Corinthians led 3–0 but Cruzeiro mounted a spectacular comeback to level at 4–4, then won 5–4 on penalties with goalkeeper Camila Rodrigues making a decisive save. Corinthians also qualified through their continental results, giving Brazil two representatives.

The eight confirmed teams are: Barcelona and Arsenal (Europe); Cruzeiro and Corinthians (South America); Gotham FC and América de México (Concacaf); Wuhan Jiangda and Naegohyang Women's FC (Asia). The 19-team tournament will feature a preliminary round with six clubs, three of whom advance to join 13 direct qualifiers in a group stage. The 16 group-stage teams will be divided into four groups of four, with the top two from each advancing to knockout rounds.
