The FIFA Club World Cup 2025, set to commence in the United States on June 14, introduces a significant format change with 32 teams competing. This marks a departure from the previous annual tournament limited to winners of continental club competitions. Now structured similarly to the FIFA World Cup, the competition will feature a group stage followed by knockout rounds, leading to the final on July 13. The expansion includes eight groups of four teams, enhancing global representation in the tournament.
Starting in 2025, football's governing body expanded the tournament to 32 teams and decided to run the revamped competition on a quadrennial cycle.
The 2025 edition on US soil will be the first in the tournament's 24-year history to feature 32 clubs, the same number as recent FIFA World Cups.
