On Sunday, 2025 FIFA Club World Cup will kick off in the United States. The forthcoming edition will be the first to have 32 participating clubs and with the same format as the FIFA World Cup that is dedicated to national teams.
There are 26 players who carried the prestigious FIFA World Cup.
The upcoming edition of the global club tournament will include 63 games in 12 venues and 11 host cities in the US.
13 players of the Argentina squad that carried the World Cup in Qatar in 2022 will participate in the tournament, including Inter Miami's Lionel Messi, who is likely to feature in the opening game against Al Ahly on Saturday, 14 June.
There are nine of France’s national team which won the tournament in 2018, including Real Madrid star Kylian Mbappé and Les Bleus’ then-captain Hugo Lloris of Los Angeles Football Club.
Another three, Ousmane Dembélé, Lucas Hernandez and Presnel Kimpembe will appear with Paris Saint-Germain.
“The list of participants at the inaugural 32-team FIFA Club World Cup is a true reflection of a tournament that will be the most competitive and inclusive of global football, bringing together the best talents from every continent to decide the true FIFA world club champion,” said FIFA President Gianni Infantino.
He added: “We have 26 players who will be seeking to be among the first group of stars to raise two World Cups: the FIFA World Cup and the FIFA Club World Cup. That is history in the making. Also, with 81 countries represented, the FIFA Club World Cup is helping to make football truly global. The tournament will be the dream of every fan, a month-long football feast.”
