1xBet Монголоос shares its thoughts on the big tournament featuring 32 teams from around the world, which will be held from June 14 to July 13, 2025.

The U.S. needs to work on mistakes

If you believe stereotypes, the United States promises a perfect tournament, but the 2024 Copa América did not confirm that. The participating teams were extremely dissatisfied with the quality of the pitches and even their size. Moreover, the fans were appalled by the organization of some matches and especially the final.

In 2026, it will be the USA that will host the majority of the World Cup games, and the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup is the last rehearsal before the No. 1 football tournament. The mistakes of 2024 need to be corrected.

Leo Messi’s last dance in club football

The eight-time Ballon d’Or winner is expected in the summer of 2026 at U.S. stadiums as part of the Argentina national team. But at the club level, Lionel Messi will take the big stage for the last time at the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup. Inter Miami is an invited guest at the tournament. There can be no doubt – the club from Florida received such a privilege thanks to Messi. 

Will the European clubs be motivated?

12 teams will represent Europe at the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup. It’s difficult to estimate the Europeans’ motivation after a long season

You shouldn’t expect much from Manchester City. Pep Guardiola has been opposing the increase in the number of matches for years, besides, his team is in a difficult situation and needs to be reorganized. The busy schedule in the 2024-25 season has already become a problem for Real Madrid as well.

In such conditions, unexpected contenders, such as Portuguese Porto and Benfica or Austrian Salzburg, may get a chance. Juventus have missed big wins outside of Italy, while Chelsea didn’t take part in international competitions last season and now have the opportunity to save their energy by rotating the squad. Paris Saint-Germain, the official partner of 1xBet, have unfulfilled ambitions, while Atlético still remember how they managed to win the Intercontinental Cup in 1974 without winning the European Cup.
