Fifa soccer president Sepp Blatter says he will work to throw amateur teams out of the Club World Cup after Auckland City's goalless showing this week.
Auckland, representing Oceania after Australia joined the Asian confederation, finished bottom of the tournament after losses to Al Ahly and Jeonbuk Motors.
"We've invited the champions of all the continents, but Australia has left the Oceania continent," Blatter said.
"But when you have full professional teams in the competition, then the sixth one must also be professional.
"This is not only my wish but it's the will of the Fifa president as long as I'm sitting in this chair."
Auckland City have won the New Zealand national league twice since being formed in 2004.
However, the team of teachers, drivers and bankers lost 2-0 to Al Ahly before being outplayed 3-0 by Asian champions Jeonbuk.
Oceania last year was represented by Australia's Sydney FC, who finished fifth.
