More on the Club World Cup draw
How will the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup draw work?
One club from each of the four draw pots will be assigned to each group, to make up a total of eight groups of four.
Teams from all but one confederation will be kept apart. UEFA will be the exception: Europe will have 12 teams at the Club World Cup, so four of the eight groups will feature two clubs from the continent. No European clubs from the same country can be drawn together in the round-robin phase.
For scheduling reasons, the two US teams in the draw - Inter Miami and Seattle Sounders - will automatically be placed in Groups A and B, respectively.
