From Real Madrid to Manchester City, European FEFA Munich, FIFA Club World Cup has been dominated by European-American Munich Manchester City for more than a decade.
At FIFA clubs, this advantage indicates a significant gap in quality, depth and resource gaps between European clubs and the rest of the world. But with this year’s new 32 team format (2025), hope for more knockouts, which could be a surprise, but frustrating, but breaking the grip of Europe isn’t easy.
In the last 10 editions of the FIFA Club World Cup (2013-2023), European clubs won all 10 times, including Real Madrid (5 titles) against Bayern Munich, Liverpool, Chelsea and Manchester City. Teams outside Europe have not cancelled the trophy since 1 Corinthians (Brazil) beat Chelsea in 2012.
Which clubs will overthrow Europe at the FIFA Club World Cup?
(1) South America:
Palmeiras, Fluminense and Flamengo remain the most trusted challengers. Although the recent finals show a pace gap, they have quality, enthusiasm and continental descent.
(2) Al Ahly (Egypt)
Al Ahly, the club with the most decorations, was always impressed during the game. Their third place ended and won clubs like Monterrey and Palmeiras, proving they could compete in a day’s game.
(3) MLS Club
As the match plays on U.S. soil, MLS, like Seattle Soundtrack or Miami Inter Miami, may wield a wave of home support.
(4) Middle East Club
The state-funded Saudi Professional League clubs and now global superstars may bring surprise results, although cohesion and experience remain worrying.
prophecy:
European clubs dominate more than just better football players. It’s about systems, support and global football hierarchies. From other teams, breaking the dominance of European countries requires more than just a good performance.
When is the Club World Cup?
The FIFA World Cup will start from June 2025 to July 13, 2025.
