The United States is hosting the Club World Cup in 2025 — the first edition of the club football competition under FIFA's controversial new expanded format.
Manchester City are the Club World Cup holders following their 2023 triumph in Saudi Arabia. That tournament featured the reigning champions from each of FIFA's six regional confederations, plus host participants Al Ittihad.
In 2025, there are 32 teams taking part, with FIFA having launched a revamped version of the tournament to mirror its flagship World Cup for international teams.
Most of the criticism around the new competition structure has centred on football's already packed calendar and further strain being placed upon its elite players. However, there remains plenty of intrigue, not least the fact that arguably the most elite of them all, Lionel Messi, is likely to renew acquaintances with some old foes after Inter Miami were selected as the host participants.

Teams in 2025 FIFA Club World Cup
The 32 teams were split across four pots for the draw in December 2024 in a format familiar to fans of the UEFA Champions League before Europe's flagship competition switched to its new "Swiss model" for 2024/25.
The champions from each confederation over the course of the four-year qualifying cycle earned a place automatically, with the remaining places allocated to the strongest-performing teams in continental competitions during that period.
Aside from each continental champion, for whom there were no restrictions on qualification, there can be no more than two teams from a single nation. For example, Brazil is the most heavily represented country with four participants as Fluminense, Botafogo, Palmeiras and Flamengo have all won the Copa Libertadores during the qualifying period. However, Chelsea and Manchester City are the only two English clubs because their respective 2021 and 2023 Champions League final wins precluded any other Premier League teams from qualifying by virtue of UEFA's coefficient rankings.
Pot one comprised the highest-ranked teams from Europe and South America, with the remaining eight European sides in pot two. The other South American clubs, Boca Juniors and recently crowned Libertadores champions Botafogo head up pot three alongside the best of Asia, Africa and CONCACAF, with the remaining clubs joining Inter Miami in pot four.
| Pot 1 | Pot 2 | Pot 3 | Pot 4 |
| Manchester City | Chelsea | Al Hilal | Urawa Red Diamonds |
| Real Madrid | Borussia Dortmund | Ulsan HD | Al Ain |
| Bayern Munich | Inter Milan | Al Ahly | Esperance de Tunis |
| PSG | Porto | Wydad AC | Mamelodi Sundowns |
| Flamengo | Atletico Madrid | Monterrey | Pachuca |
| Palmeiras | Benfica | LAFC* | Seattle Sounders |
| River Plate | Juventus | Boca Juniors | Auckland City |
| Fluminense | RB Salzburg | Botafogo | Inter Miami |
*Club Leon were expelled from the tournament after failing to meet FIFA rules on multi-club ownership. They were replaced by Los Angeles FC.
