Know schedule and where to watch live streaming and telecast in India

The expanded FIFA Club World Cup 2025 kicks off on Sunday in the United States of America (USA).

The 21st edition of the Club World Cup will see 32 teams competing in 63 matches over 29 days before the tournament football concludes on July 15. Past editions of the Club World Cup have been contested between six to eight teams.

As per the new FIFA Club World Cup format, 32 clubs have been drawn into eight groups of four teams each.

Of the 32 teams competing in the FIFA Club World Cup 2025, 12 represent UEFA, six come from CONMEBOL and one from the OFC. Each of the AFC, CAF and CONCACAF have four representatives, while one additional spot is reserved for a club from the host nation.

The FIFA Club World Cup 2025 features the winners of the top continental club competitions from 2021 to 2024.

If a team won their continental title more than once during this period, their additional spot was allocated to the next best-ranked club from that confederation, as is the case with Real Madrid, who won the UEFA Champions League twice in the last four years.

Lionel Messi’s Inter Miami were handed the additional spot reserved for a host nation club based on their exceptional 2024 campaign, in which they broke the all-time MLS record for most points in a single season to secure the Supporters’ Shield.

The remaining spots were filled based on club rankings over the same four-year period.

While UEFA used its own club coefficient system to determine the rankings, the other confederations used FIFA’s four‑year point system that gives teams three points for every win, one for a draw and a bonus for every time a team advances to the next round of a competition.

A maximum of two clubs per country have qualified for the upcoming Club World Cup – except for Brazil, which will have four representatives. This exception is due to Brazilian clubs’ dominance in the CONMEBOL Libertadores – South America’s top club tournament – in the last four editions.

All teams will play the other three sides in their respective groups once, with the top two outfits at the end of all the group games progressing to the knockout stage, which comprises the pre-quarterfinals, quarter-finals, semi-finals and the final.

The last edition of the FIFA Club World Cup, held in 2023, saw English giants Manchester City win the seven-team tournament. Spanish heavyweights Real Madrid are the most successful team in the history of the tournament, having won it five times.
