How the Club World Cup works and more
The competition will gain the spotlight between 15 June and 13 July 2025, as 32 teams from across the world meet in the USA for the first competition of its kind. The World Cup is designed to bring the most successful club teams from the six international confederations AFC, CAF, CONCACAF, CONMEBOL, OFC and UEFA together every four years.
The 32 participating teams are divided into eight groups of four teams each. There will be three matches for each team in the group stage, with the first and second in each group making the last 16. The knockout stage will see individual ties decide progression, before the world champions are crowned in a final.
How did our Red Bulls qualify?
The key to our qualification was our performances in the UEFA Champions League over the past four seasons. A total of 12 European teams qualified, with the last four Champions League winners making it while the remaining eight places were allocated according to UEFA club coefficients. A maximum of two teams per nation were allowed to qualify via that route.

All the matches of the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup will be broadcast for free on streaming service DAZN, for which you just need an account (with no subscription needed).
