2025 FIFA Intercontinental Cup
Updated: 12/16/2025, 8:49:13 PM Wikipedia source
The 2025 FIFA Intercontinental Cup (officially known as the FIFA Intercontinental Cup Qatar 2025 presented by Aramco for sponsorship reasons) is the second edition of the FIFA Intercontinental Cup, an annual club association football tournament organised by FIFA. The tournament comprises the six teams that won the previous edition of the continental championships in each FIFA confederation, playing each other in a single-elimination bracket, and takes place from 14 September to 17 December 2025. The tournament broadly maintains the format of the previous annual versions of the FIFA Club World Cup, which was expanded and reorganised into a quadrennial tournament with more entrants, with the exception of changes to venues for the initial rounds. The last three matches will take place in Ahmad bin Ali Stadium in Al Rayyan, Qatar. Real Madrid are the defending champions, but they are not able to defend their title after being eliminated by Arsenal in the quarter-finals of the 2024–25 UEFA Champions League.
