Countdown to the 2025 Club World Cup, who will win the championship prize of US$125 million

The first restructured Club World Cup in 2025 will kick off in the United States on June 15, with 32 top global clubs gathered to compete for the highest honor of football clubs.

This event is not only more interesting because it expands to the 32 team, but also because this event claims to have a total prize pool of up to US$1 billion, and the champion can get a prize income of up to US$125 million. In addition, the Club World Cup has added a group stage winning bonus, which means that the teams that qualify early will not let go of the money in Game 3.

The following are based on the combat strength, tactical characteristics and recent trends of each team, and analyze the 8 groups and predict the qualifying situation.

Group A: Palmeiras (Brazil), Porto (Portugal), Cairo Nationals (Egypt), Miami International (United States)

Forecast qualifying: Palmeiras (first in the group), Porto (second in the group)

Strength focus: South American champion Palmeiras is centered on 17-year-old star Estevao William (15 goals and 13 assists). The offense is sharp but the defensive end is easily impacted by European teams. With its rich European war experience and efficient counterattack tactics, Porto may become the top contender in the group.

Key variables: Host Miami International has Messi and Suarez. Although it ranks only 19th in combat power, its home advantage and superstar effect may help it break through the slam. Cairo's nationals' African champion background cannot be underestimated, but their defense line may not stop the offensives between South America and Europe.

Dark Horse Possible: If Miami International defeats Cairo's nationals in the first game, it may make a counterattack with the momentum of home court.

Group B: Paris Saint-Germain (France), Atletico Madrid (Spain), Botafogo (Brazil), Seattle Gulfman (USA)

Forecast qualifying: Paris Saint-Germain (First in the Group), Atletico Madrid (Second in the Group)

Death Group: Paris' Dembele scored 32 goals this season, with its offensive firepower surpassing Europe; Atletico Madrid is known for its iron-blooded defense and rapid counterattack, and the two teams have direct dialogue or titles in the first round.

Scrambler: South American Liberators Cup champion Botafogo has strict tactical disciplines. If he can score points against European twos, he will subvert the qualifying pattern. As one of the hosts, the Seattle Bayer people need to rely on local shooter Morris (the team history shooter king) to create miracles.

Potential variables: If Bottafogo scores from Atletico Madrid, it may squeeze out European giants.

Group C: Bayern Munich (Germany), Auckland City (New Zealand), Boca Youth (Argentina), Benfica (Portugal)

Forecast qualifying: Bayern Munich (Teacher No. 1), Benfica (Teacher No. 2)

Europe leads: Bayern's strength is unquestionable, Kane's finishing ability and Champions League experience are still dominant, and there is no suspense in the group's title. Benfica and Boca youth will compete for second place, the former relies on the Portuguese youth training system, while the latter relies on the talent of South American players.

Running role: Auckland City has a huge gap in strength compared to the other three teams, and may become a boy with points.

Focus duel: The second round of Boca youth and Benfica is a life-and-death battle.

Group D: Flamengo (Brazil), Tunisia Hope (Tunisia), Chelsea (England), Leon (qualification cancelled, replaced by the playoff Los Angeles vs. Mexico America winner)

Forecast qualifying: Chelsea (first in the group), Flamengo (second in the group)

Double-line competition: Chelsea is regarded as a popular qualifying with its Premier League giants and a younger lineup (such as Palmer and Kesedo). Flamenco's South American technology and Leon's Mexican fast break will collide in style.

African Challenge: Tunisia hopes to prove the competitiveness of African teams, but its defense line may not stop Chelsea's high-level oppression.

Key Battle: Flamenco vs. Chelsea, a direct dialogue between South American giants and European giants.

Group E: River Plate (Argentina), Urawa Red Diamonds (Japan), Monterrey (Mexico), Inter Milan (Italy)

Forecast qualifying: Inter Milan (Top No.1), River Plate (Top No.2)

Top of combat power: Inter Milan leads the battle power list with the most stable defense line in Serie A (conceding 0.7 goals per game) and Lautaro's efficient counterattack. There is almost no suspense in the group. Miguel Borja of Riverbed will test Inter Milan's defense, but the South American team's away adaptability is doubtful.

Asia and Central and North America: Urawa Red Diamonds' team defense against Monterrey's counterattack speed may compete for third place in the group.

Tactical Highlights: Can Inter Milan suppress the impact of the riverbed with defensive counterattack?

Group F: Fluminense (Brazil), Dortmund (Germany), Ulsan Hyundai (South Africa), Mamerodi Sunset (South Africa)

Forecast qualifying: Dortmund (Team No. 1), Fluminense (Team No. 2)

Youth Storm: Dortmund's rapid offensive and Fluminense's South American technical flow will dominate the line. Ulsan Hyundai's Asian championship background may become a disruptive variable.

African Hope: Mamelodi's sunset needs to prove the progress of South African football, but the gap in strength is obvious.

Key player: Dote Gerasi's performance may determine the team's ceiling.

G Group: Manchester City (England), Casablanca Vidard (Morocco), Ain (UAE), Juventus (Italy)

Forecast qualifying: Manchester City (First in the Group), Juventus (Second in the Group)

European Civil War: Manchester City's match with Juventus is regarded as the focus of the group. The former relies on the offensive combination of Haaland + Foden, while the latter relies on the forward efficiency of Vlahovic and Chiesa. If Manchester City solves the recent ups and downs, it may have a better advantage.

Africa and Asia run together: Casablanca Vidard and Ain may not shake the European two heroes.

Tactical Game: Who can do better with Guardiola's pass-and-control system and Allegri's anti-counter tactics?.

Group H: Real Madrid (Spain), Riyadh Crescent (Saudi), Pachuca (Mexico), Salzburg Red Bull (Austria)

Forecast qualifying: Real Madrid (first in the group), Riyadh Crescent (second in the group)

Superstar effect: Real Madrid has a 100 million striker from Mbappe + Vinicius, but the lineup is a hidden danger. Riyadh Crescent may hit the second in the group with the Saudi Golden Dollar lineup.

Newcomers in Central and North America and Europe: Pachuca's counterattack will compete with Salzburg's youth training system.

Potential unpopularity: If Salzburg exerts the impact of young players, it may squeeze out the Riyadh Crescent.
