The 2025 Club World Cup, hosted by the United States, is ongoing under its new 32‑team format—divided into eight groups of four, with the top two from each group advancing to the knockout Round of 16.
Nine Clubs Officially Eliminated from 2025 Club World Cup (as of June 24)
After matchday three, nine teams have been eliminated:
- Al Ahly (Egypt) : Finished group stage with just two draws (2 points), marking their fourth-ever tournament without a win in nine appearances
- Al Ain (UAE) and Wydad (Morocco) also bowed out
- Other exits include: LAFC, Urawa Red Diamonds, Auckland City, Ulsan Hyundai, Pachuca, Seattle Sounders, Atlético Madrid, and FC Porto
Al Ahly’s early exit and winless record make for a disappointing chapter in their Club World Cup history.
Crucial Match Today: Chelsea vs Espérance de Tunis
Date: June 24 (Today), 1:00 AM ET, Lincoln Financial Field, Philadelphia.
Status: Both Chelsea and Espérance de Tunis are tied with 3 points; Chelsea leads on goal difference.
A draw is enough for Chelsea to qualify; Espérance must win to advance.
Despite last week’s shocking defeat to Flamengo, Chelsea will manage energy carefully due to Philadelphia’s heat (temperatures reached 36 °C / “feels like” 41 °C)
