[edit] Club World Cup qualification confusion

After some deliberation and mind-changing on FIFA's part, the winner of this tournament has earned a direct place in the 2006 FIFA Club World Cup, although this wasn't always going to be the case. In March 2006 it was reported that, due to the restructuring of football in the Oceania region (i.e. Australia leaving to become part of the Asian Football Confederation), the Oceania champions would have to play a Preliminary match against the J. League champions for a place in the main competition. [1].

However, later that month, it was announced that FIFA president Sepp Blatter had been unable to get the necessary support for the new format and as a result Oceania will retain direct entry to 2006 FIFA Club World Cup. FIFA reviewed the format the following year.[2].
