The summer of soccer is taking a new look this year with the FIFA Club World Cup, which brings the first edition of the expanded competition to the United States for a 32-team tournament featuring teams from around the world competing for a share of the $1 billion prize purse.

Real Madrid, who are five-time Club World Cup winners, will begin their campaign for a sixth title when they play their first game of the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup against Saudi Pro League team Al-Hilal this Wednesday. The game will also be the first that the team plays under new coach Xabi Alonso, who replaced Carlo Ancelotti on June 1.
