Atlético Madrid Poised for Challenge at 2025 FIFA Club World Cup

Posted : 08 June 2025

Atlético Madrid have earned their spot in the expanded 32-team FIFA Club World Cup, set to kick off in the United States from June 15 to July 13, 2025. They benefitted from Barcelona's Champions League exit, securing one of Europe's 12 slots through consistent UEFA performances. This marks a historic moment for the club, who will contest the tournament under Diego Simeone’s leadership.

 

The Rojiblancos will compete in Group B, facing Paris Saint‑Germain, Botafogo, and Seattle Sounders FC, a formidable lineup that pits them against continental titans from UEFA, CONMEBOL, and CONCACAF. They will begin their campaign with a high-profile clash against PSG on June 15 in Pasadena, followed by matches in Seattle against the Sounders and Botafogo.

 

Atlético’s squad has been boosted by the recent return of Carlos Martín from Alavés and the anticipated arrival of Moldovan, as Simeone fine-tunes the roster in preparation for the Club World Cup. On the pitch, standout performers like striker Julián Álvarez—signed from Manchester City—and record-breaking forward Alexander Sørloth will be central to their attacking threat.

 

Captain Koke, the club’s all-time appearance leader, expressed his ambition to lift the Club World Cup trophy, hoping to add a ninth title to his collection and emphasised the tournament’s role in expanding Atlético’s global brand, especially in the U.S. Meanwhile, veteran Griezmann and long-serving midfielder Koke have extended their contracts, reinforcing the team’s experience and leadership depth .

 

Simeone’s side enter the tournament with a strong domestic foundation, finishing third in La Liga and reaching the semi-finals of the Copa del Rey. Now, Atlético Madrid aim to translate their resilience and tactical discipline onto the global stage, seeking to progress through the group and challenge for world club supremacy.
