In 2025, changes will be felt not only in the Champions League but also in the FIFA Club World Cup.

The year 2023 was the last when this tournament was held annually. From now on, it will be organized every four years and will be more grandiose.

FIFA Club World Cup Groups:

A - "Palmeiras”, "Porto”, "Al Ahly”, "Inter Miami”

C - "Bayern Munich”, "Benfica”, "Boca Juniors”, "Auckland City”

G - "Manchester City”, "Juventus”, "Wydad”, "Al Ain”

H - "Real Madrid”, "RB Salzburg”, "Al Hilal”, "Pachuca”

Tournament Format. For a month, football fans will again enjoy the traditional 32-team format, which has been used six times in the World Cup. As is known, the format in the world championships will change from 2026 (48 teams, 12 groups), so the 32-team format in the FIFA Club World Cup should be attractive.

2025 date. The first trial of the new format – from June 15 to July 13 in the United States.
