Two of the most storied clubs in their respective continents clash as Boca Juniors face Benfica in a high-stakes FIFA Club World Cup 2025 group stage match at Miami's Hard Rock Stadium.
Boca, fresh off a grueling Libertadores campaign where they reached the final through a trio of penalty shootout wins, will rely on veterans like Edinson Cavani and Ander Herrera to guide a somewhat depleted squad. Defender Ayrton Costa and new signing Marco Pellegrino are ruled out. With the South American giants hoping to recapture their historic global dominance, this fixture is a key test in a stacked group also featuring Bayern Munich.
Benfica, meanwhile, come into the match after a disappointing end to their domestic season, losing both the Primeira Liga title and the Taça de Portugal to rivals Sporting CP. But the Portuguese side still boasts a stable and seasoned lineup headlined by Ángel Di María, striker Vangelis Pavlidis, and midfield engine Orkun Kökçü. With full-back Álvaro Carreras likely to feature despite interest from Real Madrid, manager Roger Schmidt’s team is expected to be sharp and aggressive.
