Club World Cup 2025: Today's schedule (Mercredi , June 17)

The opening matchday of the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup group stage continues this Wednesday, in a historic edition played for the first time in an expanded 32-team format featuring the elite of world football.

All eyes will be on Pennsylvania at the start of the day, and more specifically on Lincoln Financial Field, the stage for a highly anticipated clash between Manchester City, 2023 Champions League winners, and Wydad Casablanca, representing the African continent. This duel, scheduled for 16:00 GMT, will mark Mohamed Amine Benhachem's side's first real test on the global stage.

Later in the evening, football fans are in for a blockbuster rematch of the 2023 final between Real Madrid and Al Hilal. Set for 22:00 GMT, this encounter promises fireworks: the Spanish giants will be looking to assert their dominance once again, while the Saudis are hungry for revenge and eager to make Asian football history.

Elsewhere on today's slate, Pachuca (Mexico) will face Red Bull Salzburg (Austria) at 23:00 GMT, while the night wraps up at 01:00 (Thursday) with a tantalizing showdown between Al Ain from the United Arab Emirates and Juventus of Turin—a true clash of Asian and European football.
