FIFA Club World Cup Draw Set To Launch Expanded 32-Team Format.
The FIFA Club World Cup is preparing for a landmark debut with an expanded 32-team format, as fans eagerly await the December 5 draw in Miami. This new tournament structure will determine the group stage line-ups, promising an exciting competition featuring some of the world’s top clubs, including Real Madrid, Manchester City, and Bayern Munich.
The tournament, set to take place across the United States from 15 June to 13 July, represents a significant shift in the Club World Cup’s format, marking it as one of the biggest events in global club football.

The expanded tournament is poised to elevate the prestige of the Club World Cup, bringing together a broad spectrum of talent and providing fans with a summer of unforgettable football in 2025.
