FIFA is kicking off a thrilling new chapter in soccer history with the unveiling of the official emblem for the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup. This tournament, set to take place in the United States from June 15 to July 13, 2025, represents a monumental shift in club soccer, as it expands to feature 32 teams for the first time ever. This new format promises to be the "most inclusive" club competition in the sport’s history, with top teams from six continental confederations—AFC, CAF, Concacaf, CONMEBOL, OFC, and UEFA—battling for the title of world champion.
The newly revealed logo marks a significant milestone in FIFA’s ongoing evolution of the Club World Cup. The design, which will be used in future editions, draws inspiration from the rich history and culture of the game. Its minimalist style features the initials ‘CWC’ abstracted into a circular pattern, leaving space at the center for the crests of the participating clubs. This subtle approach allows the logo to symbolize the global nature of the tournament while keeping the spotlight on the teams competing from every corner of the world.
A Milestone for Club Soccer
This expansion marks a turning point in how the world’s best club is determined, bringing more competition and inclusion to the tournament. By growing to 32 teams, the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup will provide clubs from various continents the opportunity to showcase their talent on the global stage like never before. With representatives from all six confederations, FIFA aims to create a more competitive and diverse environment, offering fans the chance to see their favorite clubs take on the very best from other regions.
FIFA president Gianni Infantino expressed his excitement about the upcoming tournament: "32 of the best clubs from all corners of the world will be competing in the United States in June and July 2025. They are at the heart of the tournament. And we cannot wait. So we want you—the fans from across the world—to share your club stories, to bring your love, your passion, your support; to show what your club is made of, and take it to the world.”
A Fresh Anthem to Set the Stage
To add to the excitement, FIFA has chosen the iconic song "Freed from Desire" by Italian singer Gala as the official anthem for the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup. This track, known for its catchy beat and association with soccer stadiums around the globe, will serve as the soundtrack for the tournament, amplifying the electric atmosphere in every match.
A Global Celebration of Soccer
The 2025 FIFA Club World Cup promises to be more than just a competition—it’s a global celebration of soccer that brings together clubs, players, and fans from all walks of life. With the tournament set to be held in the U.S. for the first time, this expanded format gives teams a larger platform to prove themselves on the world stage. As the soccer world gears up for this landmark event, the combination of a fresh emblem, inclusive format, and iconic anthem sets the stage for what could be the most exciting Club World Cup in history.
With anticipation building, soccer fans from across the globe will soon witness a new era in the sport—where 32 teams fight for the ultimate prize, and the spirit of competition reaches unprecedented heights.
