Defending champions Manchester City will play Juventus in the FIFA Club group stage.

Twelve European clubs, the most of any confederation. Will be among the teams from each of the six worldwide football confederations. That will compete in the tournament next summer.

The Champions League results from the previous four seasons determined the clubs’ spots in Europe. Recent winners Chelsea, Manchester City, and Real Madrid were assured spots.

Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan. The president of the United Arab Emirates and the older brother of City owner Sheikh Mansour. Is the owner of Al Ain. The most successful team in the country with 14 league titles.

The Saudi Pro League champions Al-Hilal, who presently have Neymar on their roster. Will be the first opponent for Real Madrid. Who won the Fifa Club World Cup trophy for a record-tying sixth time in 2022.

A spot was set aside for a club from the host country, and Inter Miami.

Who will compete in the tournament’s curtain-raiser, was controversially given it by FIFA. Messi’s team won the MLS Supporters’ Shield during the regular season, but they lost in the MLS playoffs, hence they are not the winners this year.

Twelve locations in the US, which is hosting the 2026 World Cup along with Canada and Mexico, will host matches.

Due to the event’s timing, which starts two weeks after the Champions League final at the end of the 2024–25 European calendar and finishes five weeks prior to the first Premier League game of the 2025–2026 season, FIFA is being sued by player unions and leagues.

However, according to the world governing body of football, the dates provide enough time for recovery before the domestic campaigns begin.

Previously held annually and including only seven teams, the Club World Cup will now occur once every four years.

The event, which will feature 63 matches spread over 29 days next summer, will be exclusively televised by streaming service DAZN.
