The IFCF Champions' League 4 was the 77th edition of the world club football championship, and the second under the current IFCF Champions' League title organized by the International Federation of Club Football (IFCF).

Association team allocation

The association ranking based on the IFCF country coefficients was used to determine the number of participating teams for each association:

  • Associations 1–4 each had four teams qualify.
  • Associations 5–8 each had three teams qualify.
  • Associations 9–32 each had two teams qualify.
  • Associations 33 and below, including unranked associations, each had one team qualify.
  • The winners of IFCF Champions' League 3 and Challenger's Cup 3 were each given an additional entry if they did not qualify for the competition through their domestic league. However, both berths were not required as the title winners have both qualified via their domestic league.

Distribution

The following was the access list for this season:
