The 2025 FIFA Club World Cup group stage is currently in full swing in the United States, marking the beginning of a new era for the tournament. This expanded version now features 32 top clubs from across the globe and boasts a massive $1 billion prize pool, making it one of the most lucrative events in football.
Unlike the previous editions, which included just seven teams and lasted only a few days, the revamped Club World Cup has evolved into a month-long spectacle. Set to be held every four years, much like the international FIFA World Cup, this new format aims to bring the same level of excitement and global appeal to club football. The inaugural edition of this format runs from June 14 to July 13 across various U.S. cities.
As the group stage unfolds, Palmeiras and Inter Miami have confirmed their spots in the last 16. In a major surprise, Botafogo stunned Paris Saint-Germain and now top Group B and are now into the last 16 alongside the European champions PSG. Juventus and Man City had booked their last 16 berths with wins in their respective fixtures on Sunday.
With intense competition, global stars on display, and high stakes, the 2025 Club World Cup is shaping up to be a groundbreaking chapter in international club football.
Let us look at how the 32 teams are faring after their respective 2 group games:
