Just for the sake of it, I did some computations for South America too.
Palmeiras, Flamengo and Fluminense are already in as Libertadores winners. Other Brazilian clubs will need to win Libertadores 2024 in order to qualify - and so I left them out of the ranking.
River Plate ARG 63Q
Boca Juniors ARG 58
-----------------------------
Olimpia PAR 51
-----------------------------
Indep. del Valle ECU 46Q
Racing ARG 43
Nacional URU 43
Cerro Porteno PAR 42Q
Velez ARG 41
... ...
Q = 5 points for qualifying to Libertadores 2024 already taken into account
Of course, some Argentinians (and possibly others too) will soon be unable to qualify for it and could be deleted in advance.
Olimpia is almost surely our of Copa Libertadores 2024!
So River are pretty much guaranteed CWC place unless Argentinian team other than them and Boca wins next year, and Boca will be in the same situation if they qualify.
The last place is up for grabs.
BTW, very silly rule by Paraguay to let the cup finalist one of their 4 Libertadores places, but even without it that probably wouldn't have helped Olimpia anyway...

It's very common in South America. Brazilian Cup, Argentinian Cup (and Argentinian League Cup), Chile Cup, Colombia Cup, Ecuador Cup, etc, give tickets for Libertadores.

National cups in south america are much more important than here in europe.
In Brazil its gives a big money prize, and its a goal of every player.

It's now official that Boca won't play Copa Libertadores next year, and are in doubt for FIFA Club World Cup 2025
Club Olimpia is also out of Libertadores 2024, and are even more in danger: they need a win by an Argentinian team or a second-win by Flamengo/Palmeiras/Fluminens + not being overtaken by any other non-ARG/BRA team in the ranking. All of this is assuming these are the actual ranking rules, of course...
Atletico is pretty ahead under UEFA ranking, but tonight they managed to nibble away something even as per FIFA points. (if Real Sociedad doesn't win the CL)
Sky UK has some early news ahead of tomorrow's FIFA Council meeting in Jeddah about the expanded 2025 Club WC.
It will run from Sunday 15 June - presumably European clubs won't be expected to play on that day because the WCQ MD4 will only finish on Tuesday 10 June - to the final on Sunday 13 July.

In June 15th there will probably be only the opening match, then 3 games on Monday and 4 games per day after it like the Qatar World Cup which also was 29 days.
