⭐ Core Definition: 2025 FIFA Club World Cup final

The 2025 FIFA Club World Cup final was the final match of the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup, the 21st edition of the premier competition for men's club soccer teams organized by FIFA. The match was played at MetLife Stadium at the Meadowlands Sports Complex in East Rutherford, New Jersey, near New York City, on July 13, 2025. It was contested between English club Chelsea and French club Paris Saint-Germain. This final was the first since 2000 to be contested by two teams from the same confederation—the only previous Club World Cup to feature multiple teams from the same association or country—and the first ever to feature two European teams.

Chelsea won the match 3–0 for their second FIFA Club World Cup title and the first under the new format as all previous Club World Cup winners from 2000-2023 and all Intercontinental Cup winners (from 1960-2004 and again since 2024) are now recognized as FIFA Intercontinental Cup champions.

👉 2025 FIFA Club World Cup final in the context of 2025 FIFA Club World Cup

The 2025 FIFA Club World Cup, also marketed as FIFA Club World Cup 25, was the first of the expanded FIFA Club World Cup, an international club soccer competition organized by FIFA. The tournament was held in the United States from June 14 to July 13, 2025, and featured 32 teams. The expanded format included the continental champions from the past four years as well as additional qualified teams. Chelsea won the tournament, defeating Paris Saint-Germain 3–0 in the final and becoming the inaugural world champions under the expanded format.

The revised structure was modeled more closely on the FIFA World Cup as a quadrennial world championship, replacing the annual seven-team format used between 2000 and 2023. It featured the winners of each continent's top club competition from 2021 to 2024, except for a single entry from Oceania. Additional slots were awarded to clubs from Europe and South America based on rankings across the same four-year period. Manchester City, who won the final edition under the previous format in 2023, entered as the technical title holders but were eliminated in the round of 16 by Al-Hilal.

2025 FIFA Club World Cup final in the context of FIFA Club World Cup

The FIFA Club World Cup (FIFA CWC) is an international men's association football competition organised by the Fédération Internationale de Football Association (FIFA), the sport's global governing body. The competition was first contested in 2000 as the FIFA Club World Championship. It was not held from 2001 to 2004 due to a combination of factors, chiefly the collapse of FIFA's marketing partner International Sport and Leisure (ISL). It returned in 2005 as an annual competition until 2023. Following the 2023 edition, the tournament was restructured into a quadrennial event beginning in 2025, adopting a format similar to that of the FIFA World Cup. The current world champions are Chelsea, who defeated Paris Saint-Germain 3–0 in the 2025 final.

The first FIFA Club World Championship took place in Brazil in 2000, during which year it ran in parallel with the Intercontinental Cup, a competition played by the winners of the UEFA Champions League and the Copa Libertadores, with the champions of each tournament both retroactively recognised by FIFA as club world champions in 2017. In 2005, the Intercontinental Cup was merged with the FIFA Club World Championship, and in 2006, the tournament was renamed as the FIFA Club World Cup. The winner of the Club World Cup receives the FIFA Club World Cup trophy and a FIFA Champions Badge.
