2025 Club World Cup Dates Announced

FIFA has announced that the 2025 expanded Club World Cup will take place from June 15 to July 13 across 12 U.S. stadiums, concluding with the final at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey. The tournament will feature 32 teams, including top clubs like Real Madrid, Manchester City, and Bayern Munich, and aims to be the most inclusive global club competition. However, the event has faced criticism from FIFPRO and other bodies for its potential impact on player welfare and the crowded football calendar. Despite the excitement, FIFA has yet to finalize broadcasting deals and prize money details. The announcement was made at the Global Citizen Festival in New York, underscoring FIFA’s new partnership with the anti-poverty organization.
