The FIFA Club World Cup 2025™, a groundbreaking global football extravaganza, will take place in the United States from June 14 to July 13, 2025. This inaugural edition of the revamped tournament will feature 32 elite clubs from across the globe competing in 63 matches, all vying for the ultimate honor of becoming the first-ever FIFA Club World Cup™ champion.

StarTimes has secured exclusive broadcast rights for the FIFA Club World Cup 2025™ and will deliver all 63 matches in high-definition live coverage to audiences across Sub-Saharan Africa.

Marking a historic milestone, the FIFA Club World Cup 2025™ introduces a 32-team format mirroring the FIFA World Cup™, but with a prize pool that eclipses even the sport’s most prestigious tournaments. FIFA has allocated a record-breaking $1 billion prize pool for this edition of the Club World Cup™, more than double the $440 million awarded at the FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022™. The total fund comprises $525 million in fixed participation fees and $475 million in performance-based bonuses, with the tournament champion eligible to secure up to $125 million – the largest single payout in football history.

This elite tournament boasts a galaxy of football’s hottest stars, including eight-time Ballon d’Or winner Lionel Messi, alongside global icons Kylian Mbappé, Erling Haaland, and Harry Kane. With its unparalleled prestige and record-breaking prize pool, every team will unleash their strongest squads in a relentless pursuit of glory on American soil.

The 32 elite contenders include:

• 12 clubs from UEFA (Europe), featuring powerhouses like Real Madrid, Manchester City, Bayern Munich, and Inter Milan
• 6 clubs from CONMEBOL (South America)
• 4 clubs from AFC (Asia)
• 4 clubs from CAF (Africa): Al Ahly SC (Egypt), Espérance Sportive de Tunis (Tunisia), Mamelodi Sundowns FC (South Africa), and Wydad AC (Morocco)
• 4 clubs from CONCACAF, including Inter Miami CF with Lionel Messi and Luis Suarez
• 1 club from OFC (Oceania)
• 1 host nation slot (USA)

The African quartet will carry the continent’s hopes against the world’s best, while marquee clashes such as Saudi Arabia’s Al Hilal SFC and Argentina’s Boca Juniors promise unparalleled drama.
