The summer of 2025 promises to be unforgettable for Manchester City and their fans. Pep Guardiola’s side will head to the United States to compete in the first-ever expanded 32-team FIFA Club World Cup, taking place from June 15 to July 13. With global heavyweights like Real Madrid, Bayern Munich, Paris Saint-Germain, and Chelsea in the mix, City will be determined to showcase why they’ve been one of the dominant forces in world football.
Group G Challenge: Tough and Global
City have been placed in Group G, setting up some intriguing matchups:
Here's how their group stage fixtures shape up:
- Wednesday, June 18 – Manchester City vs Wydad AC at Lincoln Financial Field, Philadelphia (12:00 PM local / 7:00 PM Beirut time)
- Sunday, June 22 – Manchester City vs Al Ain FC at Mercedes-Benz Stadium, Atlanta (9:00 PM local / 4:00 AM Beirut time on June 23)
- Thursday, June 26 – Juventus vs Manchester City at Camping World Stadium, Orlando (3:00 PM local / 10:00 PM Beirut time)
Facing clubs from three different continents, City’s group offers a fascinating blend of styles and challenges — from the physicality of African champions Wydad to the tactical steel of Juventus.
The Knockout Dream: Road to Glory
Should Manchester City finish first or second in Group G, they’ll advance to the Round of 16, which will run from June 28 to July 1. The tournament then heats quickly:
- Quarter-finals: July 4–5
- Semi-finals: July 8–9
- Final: Sunday, July 13 at the MetLife Stadium, New Jersey
With a record-breaking prize pool on offer — reportedly up to $100 million — the stakes have never been higher. Winning this new Club World Cup would add another historic trophy to City's growing legacy under Guardiola.
Summer Stateside: More Matches to Come
Regardless of how the Club World Cup unfolds, Manchester City aren’t planning to head back to England right away. Instead, they’ll extend their stay in the U.S. to launch their 2025–26 preseason tour.
