Seven teams take part in the competition, with Brazilian side Palmeiras having qualified by winning the 2021 Copa Libertadores to join European champions Chelsea.

Saudi Arabian outfit Al Hilal made the cut after being named victors of the 2021 AFC Champions League, Egypt’s Al Ahly through the CAF Champions League and Mexico’s Monterrey though the CONCACAF Champions League.

Auckland City had been nominated to play from OFC, but withdrew from the competition in December due to delayed reopening of the New Zealand borders due to the Covid-19 pandemic.

They have since been replaced by Tahitian side AS Pirae.

Al Jazira, members of the AFC hosts, won the Pro League in their home country.
