So how can we unfuck this tournament and turn it into something

Make it every 4 years.

Last 4 champions from each continental tournament qualify.

not without messing with the calendar

This actually sounds really good. Great post, Joaquim.

We can't. European football clubs were far more prestigious than non-European football clubs, which means that all the money and all the good players went to Europe. This just increased the gap in wealth and prestige between UEFA and other confederations further and the cycle never ended.

Besides, there simply aren't enough amazing players in the world to spread them across multiple teams across every continent. Even the Champions League doesn't get interesting until the quarter/semi-finals and each domestic league only has two or three teams that realistically have a chance of winning.

>inb4 Madrid takes all 4 spots for UEFA and that team from New Zealand all OFC spots

Group Stage: Champions of top 6 europe league + champions of top south american leagues + champions of smaller leagues playing some sort of a playoff
Knockout rounds: continental champions (entering at this stage) + group winners
Make nations apply to host it just like in the World Cup and Euros, hype it like a real Club World Cup, play it on the end of the european season for 1 month.

Do this every 4 years like >>77544340 suggested and people will legitimately get hyped about this.

This only started to happen from 2000 onwards, actually. Until there south american clubs could compete at the same level of european ones, and sometimes had more talent than top euro clubs (just remember Romário leaving Barcelona for Flamengo after winning the baloon door, or the 96 Palmeiras side that players like Rivaldo, Cafu and Djalminha mentioned as the best team they ever played, in terms of technique). Money and FIFA (the game) ruined south american football

Why Mexishits don't participate in Libertadores all the way? I know you have teams, but if you win you won't be able to go to the World Championship or something.

Mexico belongs to Concacaf, their teams arent even playing in Libertadores anymore.
