Who Will Win The FIFA Club World Cup 2025?

It is too early to say which team will win the competition this summer, as clubs could opt to send weaker squads to compete. However, PSG could be a team that makes an appeal at this stage.

The Parisians have shown their quality throughout the Champions League this season, and they could yet kick off the tournament in the U.S. after winning the European honor.

Their chances of success in the Club World Cup are enhanced, as they could have a straightforward age through to the latter rounds, while teams like Man City and Real Madrid could come face-to-face in the round of 16.
