The growth and expansion of the beautiful game in America has been rapid in recent times, and we’re now set for two sensational summers of soccer in the U.S. It’s the FIFA World Cup 2026 next year, but first things first, the FIFA Club World Cup returns with a bang this June. You could be there in person to witness the world's best players and club teams gunning for global glory by securing yourself seats. With the likes of Inter Miami, Real Madrid, Manchester City and Bayern Munich bringing with them star talents such as Lionel Messi, Kylian Mbappe, Erling Haaland and Harry Kane, it’s sure to be a tournament you won’t want to miss.

As well as becoming a quadrennial tournament for the first time this year, the FIFA Club World Cup has a sparkling new format. 32 of the most successful club sides from each of the six continental confederations will be competing for the crown at venues across the United States. The teams are drawn into eight groups of four, with each team playing three group stage matches in a round-robin format. The top two teams from each group will advance to the knockouts.
Manchester City have fond memories of the FIFA Club World Cup after lifting the trophy aloft in 2023 following a 4-0 win against Fluminense in front of 52,000 at the King Abdullah Sports City in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. Pep Guardiola’s guys are aiming to become only the second side apart from Real Madrid to retain the FIFA Club World Cup crown. Although Pep himself has won it four times over the years with Barcelona (twice) and Bayern Munich before his 2023 success with Manchester City.
Real Madrid hold the record for the most FIFA Club World Cup triumphs, and they go in search of a 6th title in the United States this summer. Only 3 other sides have lifted the trophy more than once (Barcelona, Corinthians and Bayern Munich). Real Madrid have recorded convincing victories over two of their group rivals, Pachuca and Red Bull Salzburg, already this season, so the Spanish giants will be confident of progressing to the knockout stages. La Liga teams from Spain have won the tournament eight times in total, the most for any nation. Although England’s Premier League have the largest number of winning teams, with four clubs (Manchester City, Chelsea, Liverpool and Manchester United) having won the tournament on one occasion apiece.
GettyThis summer will be the first time the FIFA Club World Cup has been held in the Americas since Brazil hosted the 2000 event. Brazilian clubs would win that inaugural event and the following two editions, but they’ve only tasted success in one tournament since 2006 (Corinthians in 2012). Only UEFA & CONMEBOL members have reigned supreme previously, although Al-Hilal came the closest to ending that domination most recently, when losing to Real Madrid in the 2022 FIFA Club World Cup final.
Thousands of fans from all over the globe will dream of flocking to the United States' 11 host cities to catch their teams in action between June 14 and July 13. So naturally, FIFA Club World Cup tickets will be like gold dust. Let GOAL show you all the vital ticket information, including how much they will cost and where you can purchase them.
