FIFA Club World Cup 2025 Draw Set for December 5

The inaugural 32-team FIFA Club World Cup draw will take place on December 5, 2024, in Miami, determining the group stage matchups for the tournament set to kick off on June 15, 2025. Mamelodi Sundowns, alongside other clubs like Real Madrid and Manchester City, will learn their opponents during this highly anticipated event. The tournament will feature eight groups of four teams, with the top two from each group advancing to a knockout phase. Despite only one confirmed sponsor and no official broadcast partner, the tournament is moving forward amid concerns over player workload and industry lawsuits regarding its expanded format. The final team to qualify will be decided in the Copa Libertadores final on November 30, 2024. The draw will be streamed live globally, showcasing what FIFA calls the most inclusive club competition to date.
