Club World Cup - Summer 2025

Watching the draw last night, the missus suddenly piped up "Shall we go?"

Due to ongoing health concerns that started when we both caught Covid (badly) when we won 2-1 in Madrid, we decided that our last game would be the Cup Final in 2023. What a way to bow out watching the Blues Live with a 2-1 win in the first Manchester derby Final.

I'm sure she's thinking of the warmth of summer in the States, so lets see what venues we are playing at???

If my health holds up (a big if at present) I am hoping to get over there. This event is only once every four years and will eventually become as important as the CL. A billion pound broadcast deal has guaranteed that. It will generate a huge global TV audience and be taken seriously by the likes of Real Madrid,, Bayern, and River Plate.

I think the same, might struggle getting tickets through City but going to try and get there.

Do you think the brothers will be there in rival kits as their teams play each other.

"Al Ain, the most successful club in the UAE with 14 league titles, are owned by the country's president Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan - the older brother of City owner Sheikh Mansour."

Surprised they're allowed in the same group. If we play and beat juventus, technically we could throw the game against Al Ain to help them through in second lol

Are you suggesting a FIFA competition might involve some corruption? I wouldn't be surprised to see South Korea reach the semis.
 
Can we all treat this like the Fifa World Cup, 3 games a day wall to wall football for a month in the summer
Plus how on earth are United Liverpool Barcelona not involved because it's being called the Greatest Show on Earth

The same way England, France and Portugal were not at the world cup there- not good enough.
 
Just registered my interest with Sportsworld. Looks like their packages and prices will be announced on 16 January next year.

Are you a season ticket holder. As a club we must get 3-5000 per game and I can not believe that many season ticket holders will go

Some the stadiums are decent sized and some aren’t. I think any season ticket holder who wants a ticket will get one. I can’t imagine that many blues going over as it will be an expensive trip but I’m willing to be proven wrong.

Only two teams from the same country can qualify, unless 3 teams from the same country won the CL in the qualifying years. Liverpool were in the top 12 on coefficient points but missed out because of City and Chelsea

Cheers, that makes more sense to me now. Shows how bad the French league is that an Austria team is better.

Yes I think more River and Boca will travel but I don’t think any fans Worldwide man for man are near Wydad. I looked into it a couple of years back and they had recorded the loudest noise ever recorded at a footy game…now we are playing them! Their rivalry with Raja is insane though not as famous as Boca v River.

I mean imagine being in the red section in the below video or even the green for that matter.

I’ve no idea if their fans will travel in numbers though. They certainly won’t get the pyrotechnics in!!
