The new Club World Cup will be spread across 29 days by FIFA in the summer of 2025, Sky News can reveal – finishing around a month before the new Premier League season.
FIFA has set aside 15 June to 13 July in 2025 for the inaugural edition of a 32-club men’s tournament in the United States, sources say.
The Club World Cup dates are due to be presented to a meeting on Sunday in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, of the FIFA Council that is headed by Gianni Infantino and had previously approved the launch of the new competition.
The tournament would follow the end of the European season and the 2-10 June slot already set aside for two international matches – potentially 2026 World Cup qualifiers in Europe.
