It is the Continental Champions of the last 4 years (UEFA, CONMEBOL, CONCACAF, AFC, CAF), that's 20 teams. But you can't have just 20 teams!
So let's add 8 more europeans, 2 more south americans, 1 from New Zealand and one from the hosts USA to make 32!
One more rule, you cannot have more than 2 teams from the same country, unless they won all the Champions Leagues.
I know you care about Europe so here goes.
Chelsea: winners of CL 2021
Real Madrid: winners of CL 2022 and 2024
Manchester City: winners of CL 2023
Since there is a repeat winner, we take the next best 9 UEFA teams based on their 4-year UEFA club coefficient.
1. Bayern Munich
2. Paris Saint Germain
3. Borussia Dortmund
4. Inter Milan
Liverpool
5. Porto
6. Athletico Madrid
Leipzig
Barcelona
7. Benfica
8. Juventus
Napoli
Seville
AC Milan
9. RB Salzberg
