When is the Club World Cup 2025? Opening match and dates
Your guide to this summer's Club World Cup.
The start of the revamped Club World Cup is upon us – with 32 teams set to battle it out in North America in a tournament that FIFA hope to establish as the "pinnacle of club football".
Chelsea and Man City are the English representatives heading across the Atlantic, where they'll be joined by European big guns like Bayern Munich, Real Madrid, and Paris Saint-Germain, as well as other top clubs from around the globe.
Whether it will draw the audiences that FIFA are hoping for remains to be seen but there is certainly plenty of intrigue surrounding the glitzy new tournament.
What was previously a seven-team annual competition will now take place every four years and include 32 participants – with representatives from all seven international confederations.
A total prize fund of $1 billion (£775 million) is on offer, with a large chunk of that split between all of the teams taking part and the rest awarded based on performance.
The eye-watering prize money involved should go some way to convincing the teams involved to take it seriously but whether that same enthusiasm will be shared by the fans remains to be seen.
