Group A 

Inter Miami

Palmeiras

The Brazilian league season started in March, and Palmeiras got off to the quickest start but head into this tournament after a slight downturn in form, having lost three of their last six games. Abel Ferreira's side are fourth in the table, but remain just a point off the top spot.

They've also won six out of six in the Copa Libertadores, with Estevao Willian - one of the players to watch this summer - scoring eight times already this campaign. 

Porto

Porto have endured a difficult league campaign, trailing both Sporting and Benfica all season. Vitor Bruno fell victim to the team's bad form and was sacked in January, later to be replaced by Martín Anselmi.

The new boss didn't manage to catch the top two, with Porto having to settle for a Europa League place after finishing third in the Primeira Liga - a competition they were dumped out of by Roma in the knockout phase earlier this season. 

 

Al Ahly 

The  Egyptian side continued its dominance of the domestic scene by retaining the league title, finishing two points ahead of Pyramids to win their 66th championship. 

However, there will be no repeat of last year's trophy haul, having been knocked out of the domestic cup and the Champions League. 

Inter Miami 

Sixteen rounds into the season and the Club World Cup hosts are in the mix at the top of the MLS Eastern Conference. Sitting third in the table, five points behind the leaders, Philadelphia Union. 

Talisman Lionel Messi has netted 15 goals in 20 games for Miami, while his team have only lost three times so far - although one of them was a bruising 4-1 reverse to Minnesota United. 

Group B

PSG

PSG

It was a pretty perfect campaign for the Parisians in 2025 after retaining the Ligue 1 championship and then going on to win their first-ever Champions League. 

With the likes of Ousmane Dembele, Bradley Barcola and Khvicha Kvaratskhelia all in sparkling form, the French side are currently one of Europe's most exciting teams - and could head into the tournament as big favourites to lift another trophy. 

Atletico Madrid 

Diego Simeone's side didn't have enough to keep up with La Liga's top two this season, but they remain very much the best of the rest in the Spanish league. 

They've only lost six teams in the league, which meant a third-place finish, but Real Madrid once again ended their Champions League run in the knockout phase. 

 

Botafogo

It's been a steady start for Botafogo in the Campeonato Brasileiro Série A, where they currently sit in sixth place in the table after 11 games. 

However, they'll go to the States, having had the weakest start of any of the Brazilian clubs participating in the Club World Cup. 

Seattle Sounders 

The Sounders are sixteen games into their MLS season and sit in the top half, having won seven of their matches, but come into the tournament off the back of two consecutive defeats. 

They know they face a big battle against two big European big hitters in Group B, but if they can continue their good run, it could help them raise an eyebrow or two. 

Group C

Bayern Munich 

The German giants will head into the FIFA Club World Cup in buoyant mood, having won their Bundesliga title back from Bayer Leverkusen to become champions once again. 

With Harry Kane continuing his ridiculous scoring rate for the club - and bagging his first major honour - FC Hollywood will be out to add yet more gold to their collection in the States. 

Auckland City 

Auckland City are thirteen games into their domestic season, and sit in the top three of the Northern League of New Zealand. 

City's struggled to find the back of the net at the start of the season, but have now found their groove and go into the tournament off the back of three wins in a row. 

 

Boca Juniors 

The famous club are in the knockout phase of the Argentine season, having finished second in their league for the 2025 season.

They next face Independiente in the quarter-finals as they look to win the Torneo Apertura for the first time since 2022. 

Benfica 

Bruno Lage's men lost out in the battle for the Primeira Liga. Finishing second to Sporting in a hard-fought title race, which saw them miss out on top spot by two points. 

The star of the show was Greek striker Vangelis Pavlidis, who scored 29 goals in all competitions.

Flamengo

With just one defeat to their name so far this season, Flamengo have made a solid start to their 2025 Campeonato Brasileiro Série A campaign. 

Giorgian de Arrascaeta has netted 12 times in 13 games across all competitions, form the club he takes with him to the USA for the Club World Cup. 

Chelsea 

Enzo Maresca's side had an up-and-down campaign, but ended the season by clinching Champions League football for 2025-26 with their top-five finish. 

The Blues also ended the season with silverware, after winning the Europa Conference League Final, beating Real Betis. 

Esperance de Tunis

It was another season of dominance for Esperance, with them retaining their league championship in Tunisia. 

It's the club's ninth triumph in a row, while they have also won the Tunisian Cup and reached the quarter-finals of the AFC Champions League. 

LAFC 

Sixteen rounds into the MLS season, LAFC sits in 5th place in the Western Conference table and now take a break in their campaign after being the last team to qualify for the Club World Cup. 

They'll be hoping for more goals from Denis Bouanga, who's netted seven goals in 14 games this year.
