The 2025 FIFA Club World Cup — a revamped competition featuring 32 teams from all corners of the world — has been a global success, with the tournament offering fans a rare opportunity to watch clubs with diverse backgrounds and playing philosophies compete for an international crown.
Four days into the tournament, FIFA announced that nearly 1.5 million tickets had been sold. Less than a week later, organizers reported that total attendance had surpassed 1 million already. And while some matches have seen thousands of empty seats, the competition has largely been well received around the world thanks to its high-intensity, entertaining matchups.
