Intercontinental tension hits the pitch. Flamengo and Bayern Munich will face off in the first direct battle between CONMEBOL and UEFA sides in the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup Round of 16. The match is set for Sunday, June 29 at 4:00 PM ET / 1:00 PM PT at the Hard Rock Stadium in Miami, Florida. Match officials are yet to be confirmed.
Flamengo preview
Mengão comes into this stage in strong form, finishing atop Group D with seven points. They opened with a solid 2–0 win over Esperance de Tunis, followed by a stunning 3–1 victory over Chelsea, and wrapped up group play with a 1–1 draw against LAFC using a rotated squad.
The Brazilian side has been one of the most consistent teams in the tournament, blending defensive balance with attacking punch. Pedro has emerged as the key figure up front, combining movement, technique, and finishing to become Flamengo’s go-to goalscorer.
Bayern Munich preview
The German giants had little trouble advancing to the knockout stage, though their path wasn’t flawless. They began with a historic 10–0 demolition of Auckland City, edged Boca Juniors 2–1 in a tighter contest, and, already qualified, fell 1–0 to Benfica with a largely rotated lineup.
Despite that loss, Bayern has shown the squad depth and overall quality expected from a European powerhouse. Harry Kane remains the main attacking reference and is ready to lead the Bavarians’ charge on American soil.
Key Storylines
This matchup pits two of the biggest clubs in their respective regions, but it’s also a clash of styles, philosophies, and footballing pride. Pedro’s flair and finishing will go head-to-head with Kane’s cold efficiency, in a battle that promises goals and high drama.
There’s also extra intrigue: it’s the first direct knockout clash between South American and European clubs in this new format, amid ongoing debate over the strength gap between the confederations. The pitch will have the final word.
