FIFA Club World Cup 2025: All clubs qualified for semifinals

The 2025 FIFA Club World Cup has reached the semi-final stage, with just four teams left in the race for the title. It’s shaping up to be an exciting finish as fans around the world wait to see which club will rise above the rest and be crowned the best football team on the planet.

The winning team won't just take home a prestigious trophy—they’ll also earn a significant cash prize. However, the tournament hasn't been without controversy. Critics argue that the extra matches could leave players fatigued heading into the new season.

Fluminense became the first club to book their place in the semi-finals after a hard-fought victory over Al Hilal. The match was tightly contested, but the Brazilian side held their nerve and came out on top to move one step closer to the title.

Chelsea edged past Palmeiras in a tightly contested match, showing their quality to book a place in the FIFA Club World Cup 2025 semi-finals. The English side looked more composed and controlled the game, which ultimately helped them secure the win.

In another quarterfinal, Paris Saint-Germain overcame Bayern Munich in a dramatic showdown. Despite being down a couple of key players, PSG fought hard and managed to defeat the German giants to reach the final four. However, the match was marred by an unfortunate incident—Jamal Musiala suffered a serious injury that will sideline him for several months.

Real Madrid completed the semi-final lineup by defeating Borussia Dortmund in a high-intensity clash. The Spanish club showed why they’re considered one of the best, handling pressure well to seal the win.

As tradition goes, the winners of the tournament will earn the right to wear a special champions badge on their jerseys until the next edition of the competition.

Real Madrid are the most successful team in Club World Cup history, having won the title five times. Chelsea have lifted the trophy once, while PSG and Fluminense are both chasing their first title—a golden opportunity for either club to make history.
