Club World Cup 2025: The exciting start and the shocking truths!

The Club World Cup (Club World Cup) begins in the USA on June 13, 2025 and preparations are in full swing. This year 32 football clubs will take part in the prestigious tournament. The event will not only showcase the best teams in the world, but will also reignite the discussion about football's ubiquitous presence and the mentality that comes with it in the industry. The supposed football-free period in Germany between May and August, which is often viewed as a rest period, does not actually exist. Rather, numerous European or World Cups take place in even years, which keep football fever high.

Christoph Kramer also spoke in the discussion about the Club World Cup, underlining the importance of the tournament. However, he warns participating clubs, including well-known names such as FC Bayern and Borussia Dortmund, of the need to prepare for the competition with “shadow squads”. These teams are under pressure to keep their best players fit and ready.

Transfers and player movements

A current highlight is the move of Leroy Sané, who will play for Galatasaray in the future. The German international's arrival in Istanbul is celebrated enthusiastically by the fans of the Turkish champions. Interestingly, it is reported that Sané will no longer appear for FC Bayern at the Club World Cup in the USA despite having two weeks left on his contract, further complicating the situation for his former club.

The Club World Cup will once again demonstrate how football is viewed today not only as a sport, but also as an economic factor and cultural phenomenon. The anticipation for the tournament is already palpable, with both players and fans coming closer together to cheer on the best teams in the world. Another chapter in world soccer is opening, and the eyes of the soccer world are eagerly awaiting the events that will take place in the United States in the coming weeks.
