The FIFA Club World Cup 2025™, FIFA’s new premier club competition, will make its debut in the United States in June and July of 2025, bringing 32 of the world’s top teams together.

The top clubs from each of the six international confederations—AFC, CAF, Concacaf, CONMEBOL, OFC, and UEFA—will participate in this truly global event.

This summer, some of the biggest clubs in the world will compete in a brand-new tournament to win in the USA. FIFA has redesigned its event, which was previously held annually, to include 32 teams and now take place every four years.

Teams from all over the world will now compete in a longer format in an attempt to become the inaugural champions of the new tournament.

In addition to Kylian Mbappe, Jude Bellingham, Harry Kane, Manchester City, Chelsea, PSG, and others, Lionel Messi will play for Inter Miami.

The winner will collect more than $100 million, and there will be a significant amount of prize money up for grabs.

Numerous domestic and continental champions from every continent participated in the draw, which was held in Miami on December 5, 2024.

UEFA Champions League champions Real Madrid of Spain, Botafogo of Brazil, who won the CONMEBOL Copa Libertadores, and Al Ahly of Egypt, who have won three of the last four CAF Champions League titles, are among the major teams competing.

2025 FIFA Club World Cup: Schedule and Format

32 clubs will compete in the Club World Cup in the same format as the World Cup, which is contested by nations, for the first time in the tournament’s 24-year history.

Six to eight teams have traditionally competed in the Club World Cup, but the new format will see the most competitors in the competition’s history.

The confederation’s four-year rankings and the champions of continental club events, such as the Champions League, were used to determine the qualifying teams.

South America (CONMEBOL) includes six teams, whereas Europe (whose confederation is UEFA) has twelve, making up the largest representation of the 32 teams.

Then there are four teams from Asia (AFC), Africa (CAF) & North, Central America and the Caribbean (CONCACAF).

The final spot was given to Lionel Messi’s Inter Miami, the domestic champions of the host country, whereas Oceania (OFC) only had one club.

Eight groups of four will be formed from the teams, and the top two will advance to the knockout stages after a round-robin group stage.

There will be eight groups of four teams at the start of the Club World Cup.

A single-game round-robin style will be used for play.

Each group’s top two teams advance to the Round of 16.

The winner of each game advances, and it’s knockout football from that point on.

No third-place play-off is planned, but there will be a semifinal and final.

On June 15, 2025, Inter Miami will play Al Ahly in the tournament’s opening match at Hard Rock Stadium in Miami. The final will be held on July 13, 2025, at MetLife Stadium in New York, New Jersey.
