The tournament, which is being held in the United States, will take place in its newly expanded 32-team format.

After Al Nassr failed to qualify, FIFA president Gianni Infantino raised the prospect of Ronaldo joining a team involved in May. However, Ronaldo has confirmed he will not participate.

"I will not be at the Club World Cup," said Ronaldo.

"Some teams reached out to me. Some made sense and others did not, but you can't try and do everything. You can't catch every ball."
