Group E 

Inter

River Plate 

River Plate finished second in the league phase of the Argentinian season, having lost just one game and four points off first-placed Rosario Central. 

The head into the league's knockout rounds looking as one of the strongest teams and are still in contention for their domestic cup and the Copa Libertadores, where they are yet to be beaten in their first six games. 

Urawa Red Diamonds 

Maciej Skorża are just under halfway into their J1 campaign and are currently sitting in third place out of the twenty teams in the league. 

Kashima Antlers lead the way, with Urawa six points off top spot, but having played a game more then some of teams in and around them. 

Monterrey 

The Mexicans were so close to winning this year's Apertura, having finished fifth in the league and qualified for the quarter-finals, only to go on to lose the final to Club America. 

While in the Clausura 2025, they sit just outside the quarter-final places, but have a play-off round to tackle ahead of the Club World Cup. 

Inter Milan

Inter head into the FIFA Club World Cup after surrendering their Italian championship to Napoli and a Champions League mauling at the hands of Inter Milan. 

They now have a new man in charge in Christian Chivu and look to quickly bounce back from their disappointing end to the 2024-25 season.

Fluminense 

It's only eleven games into the Brazilian season, meaning Fluminense, along with the other sides from the league, will be the freshest sides out in the USA. 

So far, Renato Gaúcho's team have won half of their games and sit in 5th place in the Campeonato Brasileiro Série A. 

Borussia Dortmund 

Dortmund managed to clinch a Champions League place at the end of the 2024-25 campaign, having finished fourth in the Bundlesliga. 

The Germans didn't put together a title bid this season, but remain a dangerous outfit, spearheaded by the 33-goal machine Serhou Guirassy. 

Ulsan HD

Roughly halfway into the Korean league season, Ulsan are very much in the title hunt in a top-three battle at the top of the table. 

Daejeon Hana Citizen and Jeonbuk Hyundai Motors lead the way, but Ulsan are snapping at their heels, just six points off the top as they look to bag their third championship in a row. 

Mamelodi Sundowns 

The Sundowns have already tasted glory this season, having bagged the South African Premiership for the eighth consecutive time. 

Miguel Cardoso's men only lost three games all season and won the league by a whopping 15 points from Orlando Pirates.

Manchester City 

It's easily been Pep Guardiola's worst season as a football manager, but it's one that could still end in some glory for Manchester City in the US. 

The league was surrendered, and City lost the FA Cup final by to Crystal Palace but they did confirm their place in top five, where they secured Champions League football for next season. 

Wydad AC 

Wydad are still looking for their first domestic success since 2022, after finishing in third place in 2024–25 Botola. 

It means the Moroccans missed out on a place in next season's AFC Champions League and will have to be content with a place in the Confederation Cup. 

Al Ain 

Al Ain may hold the record for most UAE Pro League titles, but they failed to add to the haul in 2025. 

They finished fifth in the table, way behind winners Shabab Al Ahli. 

Juventus 

There hasn't been too much to shout about for Juventus in 2025, having been dumped out of the Champions League by PSV and forced to change coach due to their subpar season. 

Igor Tudor's only positive from the campaign was securing Champions League football for next year, after the Old Lady finished in fourth place. 

Group H

Real Madrid 

By Real Madrid's high standards, 2024-25 could be seen as a disappointing campaign for the Spanish giants - unless they can salvage something at the FIFA Club World Cup. 

They were dethroned of the Champions League when Arsenal knocked them out of the competition at the quarter-final stage, while La Liga went the way of Barcelona this season. 

Al Hilal  

Al Hilal were in constant chase mode for the majority of the season as they looked to pip Al Ittihad to the Saudi Pro League title, but they fell short. 

They ended the campaign eight points adrift of Al Ittihad, but will look to make an even bigger impact at the Club World Cup. 

Pachuca 

The Mexicans haven't had too much to shout about in 2024-25 and hoping for a strong finish in the USA will make up for an underwhelming league campaign.

Pachuca won only three of 17 games and finished in 16th place in the Liga MX. 

Red Bull Salzburg 

Salzburg qualified for the Championship round in the Austrian Bundesliga after finishing in third during the regular league season.

They then banked a place in the Champions League qualifying round after finishing second to Sturm Graz.
