Fifa has announced the expanded Club World Cup will take place in the US from June 15 to July 13, 2025, featuring 32 teams across 12 venues.
Fifa President, Gianni Infantino, stated that 'in 2025 a new era for club football will kick off' with a more inclusive and merit-based competition.
The expanded tournament drew criticism from clubs and players, especially after Uefa's similar expansion of the Champions League and Europa League, raising concerns about scheduling.
The previous format featured only six teams from various global confederations, while the new format aims to enhance competitiveness and audience engagement.
