FIFA Club World Cup 2025 favorites

Real Madrid Real Madrid

Whenever Real Madrid takes the field, it's foolish to dismiss their chances of winning. This is a team with an incredible winning pedigree and world-class talent littered across the pitch. With five UEFA Champions League titles in the last decade alone, Los Blancos thrive on the biggest stages.

Led by elite players and a manager with knockout experience, Madrid are rightfully one of the favorites to lift the trophy. Their combination of tactical discipline and explosive attacking potential makes them a nightmare matchup for any opponent.

Bayern Munich Bayern Munich

Bayern Munich enters the Club World Cup as a perennial powerhouse with an unmatched domestic record and a proven history in international competitions. With a deep squad and a high-intensity playing style, the German champions are built for tournament football.

They possess a strong core of experienced leaders and emerging stars, capable of dominating possession and punishing mistakes. Bayern’s discipline, fitness, and clinical finishing make them one of the most dangerous sides in the competition.

PSG Paris Saint-Germain

Paris Saint-Germain might not yet have the Club World Cup in their trophy cabinet, but their ambition is as clear as their star-studded lineup. With global icons and explosive young talent, PSG is one of the most talented squads in the field.

Under the guidance of top-tier coaching and backed by a deep bench, the Parisians have all the tools to make a serious title run. If they can find the right balance between flair and discipline, PSG has the firepower to finally convert potential into global glory.

The competition will feature 32 clubs, divided into eight groups of four teams. Each team will play one match against each group opponent, with the top two teams from each group advancing to the knockout stage.
