The 2025 FIFA Intercontinental Cup will be the second edition of the FIFA Intercontinental Cup, an annual club association football tournament organised by FIFA. The tournament will comprise the six teams that won the previous edition of the continental championships in each FIFA confederation, playing each other in a single-elimination bracket. The last three matches will take place at a neutral venue from 10 to 17 December 2025.[1]
The tournament broadly maintains the format of the previous annual versions of the FIFA Club World Cup, which was expanded and reorganised into a quadrennial tournament with more entrants, with the exception of changes to venues for the initial rounds.[2]
Real Madrid are the defending champions, but they are not able to defend their title after being eliminated by Arsenal in the quarter-finals of the 2024–25 UEFA Champions League.
