The revamped FIFA Club World Cup is just around the corner.
Kicking off on June 14, the newly expanded tournament will feature 32 of the world’s top soccer clubs competing over a month-long spectacle across the United States. With a fresh format and a massive prize pool, this edition promises to be the biggest yet.
Among the elite teams confirmed are newly crowned European champion Paris Saint-Germain, featuring stars like Ousmane Dembélé and Désiré Doué; Real Madrid, now boasting Kylian Mbappé; Chelsea and Cole Palmer; River Plate and Argentine prodigy Franco Mastantuono; and perhaps most notably, Lionel Messi leading Inter Miami.
Amid such a star-studded lineup, one name you’d typically expect to see is Cristiano Ronaldo—Lionel Messi’s longtime rival and one of soccer’s most iconic global superstars.
But will he be there this year? Here’s everything you need to know.
