FIFA Club World Cup 2025: new format and our predictions
This summer marks the debut of the new FIFA Club World Cup, a tournament set to reshape international club football. With 32 teams, the event will be hosted in the United States from June 15 to July 13, 2025. It features continental champions from the past four years and other high-ranking clubs.
The revamped format replaces the old December edition and mirrors the national World Cup, with eight groups of four teams and a knockout stage starting from the Round of 16.
Favorites and our predictions
Top clubs like Real Madrid, Manchester City, Chelsea, Palmeiras, Flamengo, Al Ahly, Monterrey, and Seattle Sounders are already qualified. European teams are strong contenders, but South American and African clubs bring their own legacy and competitive spirit.
At Statips, we are already preparing our predictions for the FIFA Club World Cup. While Europe has the edge, the short format may allow for surprises — River Plate or Al Hilal could emerge as dark horses.
We’ll also be publishing ongoing FIFA Club World Cup betting tips and predictions, including pre-match analysis, stats, tactical previews, and key insights for fans and bettors.
