The FIFA Club World Cup is currently taking place in the United States, running from June 14 to July 13. The tournament consists of eight groups, with the top two teams from each group qualifying for the quarter-finals.
Historically, the FIFA Club World Cup is a showdown between the top club representatives from six continental confederations. The tournament is organized by FIFA and was initially launched in Brazil in January 2000, serving as the successor to the Intercontinental Cup (held annually in Yokohama, Japan between UEFA Champions League and Copa Libertadores winners).
While the 2021 tournament was officially held as a one-off League World Cup tournament due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the expanded 2025 format simply hasn't kicked off yet. For the upcoming edition, 32 clubs will fight it out in an 8-group tournament, with the top two teams advancing to the Round of 16.
