When the world’s top football clubs congregate in Miami for the FIFA Club World Cup 2025 draw on December 5, they’ll be part of a historic moment in international soccer. Announced by
FIFA
, the event will reveal the matchups for the expanded tournament featuring 32 teams, a significant increase from its previous seven-team format.
The draw is slated to commence at 1:00 PM local time in Miami, or 19:00 CET, and it promises to be a globally streamed spectacle of anticipation. Despite the excitement, there are underlying tensions due to the competition’s swell in size, which has prompted concerns over player workload and the yet-to-be-confirmed complete cast of sponsors. To quote an issue highlighted by
News Central Africa
, “FIFA has yet to finalise broadcasting agreements or confirm the bulk of its sponsors.”
Nonetheless, with anticipation running high, all eyes will be on the last two clubs vying for the final spot in the tournament. The all-Brazilian CONMEBOL Libertadores final on November 30 in Buenos Aires, featuring Clube Atlético Mineiro and Botafogo de Futebol e Regatas, will settle who takes the last ticket to Miami.
A few details do remain firmly in place: The Herons of Inter Miami CF secured their spot as the host representative, and FIFA confirmed that Lumen Field in Seattle will resonate with the cheers of Seattle Sounders FC’s home games. The tournament is set to kick off at the Hard Rock Stadium in Miami on June 15, 2025, and run until July 13. Furthermore,
FIFA
announced Hisense as its first partner for the upcoming club football extravaganza, “the greatest, most inclusive and merit based global club competition in history,” per FIFA’s embellished descriptor.
