T he 2025 Fifa Club World Cup finished off the group stage and the knockout bracket is officially set. The group stage consisted of 32 clubs from around the world competing in eight groups. The top two in each group advanced to the knockout bracket where they were seeded based on whether they finished first or second in their group.

The first 32-team edition of the Club World Cup is down to 16 teams. As expected, most are from Europe but Brazil has the most teams still alive.
