Real Madrid entered the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup as one of the favourites to win the new expanded tournament.
Los Blancos qualified as one of the UEFA Champions League winners during the period from 2021 to 2024, and their status as arguably the grandest club in the world is likely to draw huge crowds when they compete in the United States in June and July this year.
Carlo Ancelotti's team may not have enjoyed much of the 2024/25 season as they lost their La Liga and Champions League crowns, but now under the guidance of new head coach Xabi Alonso, they are at the Club World Cup looking to extend their record as the most successful side in the old tournament's history.
Below, The Sporting News lays out their schedule for the competition.
