Actually, the CWC is like taking the football winners of the SEC, the Big 10, Conference USA, Southland, Texas Juco, NAIA Oklahoma Division and the Canadian College League and putting them in a tourney and calling it the World Championship of College Football, leaving out the vast majority of the best teams.
The bad news for Raja is that they lost. The good news is they can sign new better players in upcoming transfer window with that amount of prize money and make the club even stronger. Bayern Munich - $5 million Raja Casablanca - $4 million Atletico Mineiro - $2.5 million Guangzhou Evergrande - $2 million Monterrey - $1.5 million Al-Ahly - $1 million Auckland City - $0.5 million
The teams competing are what FIFA describes as WINNERS. Each team is the winner of a long regional Champions League competition. For the very reason of fixture congestion with club and country requirements, there is just this slim window in December to unify only the regional winners. Then the winners play off to crown a winner of all the winners from around the globe. Not to crown the winner of all the winners and their runner ups! Hahaha! Don't be dense Westie. I see what you did there.
I'm sure the Club World Cup will grow with more teams participating in the future. Just like all the other competitions in the world, for example, from the European Cup (16 teams) to The Champions League (78 teams), from the Cup Winners Cup (10 teams) to the Europa League (160 teams), the Copa Libertadores (from 7 teams to 38 teams) and from CONCACAF Champions Cup (8 teams) to the CCL (24 teams).
