FIFA Club World Cup 2025 favorites
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.
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. Fresh off a dominant victory in the UEFA Champions League final, PSG are one of the most talented squads in the field with global icons and explosive young talent.
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.
Manchester City
Manchester City have been a mainstay on the global soccer scene for the better part of a decade. With a tactical genius patrolling the sidelines in Pep Guardiola, and a roster of players that would make any fantasy team look like amateurs, the Citizens are always one to watch.
They enter this year's FIFA Club World Cup as the defending champions (2023), but off a disappointing domestic campaign that saw them finish second, 13 points off Liverpool.
With a healthy roster and one infused with a few key signings ahead of the tournament, City could yet find themselves hoisting another piece of silverware.
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.

What is the FIFA Club World Cup format?
FIFA Club World Cup 2025 will adopt a structure similar to major international tournaments like the FIFA World Cup and the UEFA Champions League.

What’s the best strategy for betting on the Club World Cup?
Given the expanded format and increased competition, it’s smart to diversify your bets.
