But don’t get it twisted…there will be nothing friendly about the FIFA Club World Cup™.
Ask any of the players and coaches competing in the tournament and they will all tell you the same thing…they are going there to win.
And the team which ultimately lifts the trophy on July 13th 2025 will truly be able to call themselves the greatest club on the planet.
It’s an opportunity which doesn’t come along every day, and clubs from historic soccer nations like Brazil and Argentina will especially relish the chance to test themselves against Europe’s best and brightest.
This new format could redefine what it means to be the best club in the world. Winning this tournament won’t just be a nice trophy – it will be the next big benchmark for global dominance in soccer.
