The 2025 FIFA Club World Cup has reached its decisive stage, and the four teams that will fight for the title on U.S. soil are now confirmed. With both matches set to take place at the iconic MetLife Stadium in New Jersey, the semifinals promise high drama featuring some of the biggest clubs from Europe and South America.

Dates and Matchups for the Semifinals

The semifinal clashes are scheduled for Tuesday, July 8 and Wednesday, July 9, with both games kicking off in Eastern Time (ET). Massive crowds are expected as the competition brings global football to one of America’s most prestigious venues.

Tuesday, July 8: Fluminense vs Chelsea

The first semifinal will see Fluminense, winners of the 2023 Copa Libertadores, go up against Chelsea, who qualified through UEFA thanks to their 2021 Champions League triumph. The Brazilian side reached this stage after a convincing win over Al Hilal, while the Blues confirmed their status as contenders by knocking out Palmeiras.

Wednesday, July 9: PSG vs Real Madrid

The second semifinal is arguably the most anticipated showdown of the entire tournament. Paris Saint-Germain and Real Madrid—two European powerhouses—will battle for a spot in the final. With stars like Kylian Mbappé, Ousmane Dembélé, Vinícius Jr., and Désiré Doué, this match promises world-class football and fireworks on the pitch.

The Road to the Final

The winners of both semifinals will meet in the Club World Cup Final on Sunday, July 13, also at MetLife Stadium. It will mark the conclusion of a historic edition of the tournament—its first ever in the United States and the debut of the expanded format featuring 32 clubs.
