The highly anticipated FIFA Club World Cup 2025 is set to feature a compelling Group G match between Manchester City and Al Ain FC. Football fans worldwide are eager to witness this clash, and here’s how you can catch the action live on TV and online.
The FIFA Club World Cup 2025 is the 21st edition of the tournament and the first to feature an expanded format with 32 teams. Hosted in the United States from June 14 to July 13, 2025, the tournament brings together top clubs from around the globe. Manchester City, as the defending champion from the previous format in 2023, enters the competition with high expectations.
Manchester City secured their spot in the Club World Cup 2025 by winning the 2022/23 Champions League. Placed in Group G, they face Wydad AC, Al Ain FC, and Juventus. Their campaign began with a 2-0 victory over Wydad AC, with goals from Phil Foden and Jeremy Doku. However, Rico Lewis's late red card in that match means he will miss the upcoming game against Al Ain. A win against Al Ain would significantly boost their chances of advancing to the knockout stages.
Al Ain FC, representing the United Arab Emirates, faces a tough challenge in Group G. Their opening match resulted in a 5-0 defeat against Juventus. Managed by Vladimir Ivic, Al Ain will be looking to bounce back and put up a strong fight against Manchester City. Key players for Al Ain include goalkeeper Khalid Eisa, South Korea international Park Yong-woo, Togo striker Kodjo Fo-Doh Laba, and Moroccan forward Soufiane Rahimi.
The global broadcasting rights for the FIFA Club World Cup 2025 are held by DAZN, an online streaming platform. In what FIFA describes as a "historic broadcasting deal," all 63 matches will be live-streamed for free on DAZN worldwide, without requiring a subscription. This ensures that fans across the globe can access every game from the group stage through to the final.
With the game fast approaching, fans should ensure they have access to DAZN or check their local TV listings to avoid missing out on this exciting FIFA Club World Cup 2025 match.
