Club World Cup 2025 Runs Across US with High Attendance, Weather Delays

The 2025 FIFA Club World Cup is progressing with matches across the United States, showcasing top clubs like Manchester City, Benfica, Bayern Munich, Chelsea, and Flamengo. Manchester City began their campaign strongly with a 2-0 win over Wydad AC, highlighted by goals from Phil Foden and Jeremy Doku. The tournament has seen competitive group stage matches, including Benfica's comeback draw against Boca Juniors and Flamengo's strong form with key player Luiz Araujo. Despite solid attendance figures averaging around 35,525 per game, many matches have appeared sparsely attended due to the large NFL stadiums hosting the games, with stadiums about 55% full on average. South American fans have brought vibrant atmospheres, especially in cities like New York and Miami, enhancing the tournament experience despite some concerns about heat and crowd control. The tournament's schedule includes multiple games daily, with matches in Florida, Philadelphia, Nashville, and other locations, reflecting the event's broad American footprint.
