Winners of the 2025/2026 Champions League, Paris Saint-Germain will once again play in the Intercontinental Cup final this year. Last season, the French club had already played in this final after winning the 2024/2025 edition of the most prestigious European competition.

PSG prevailed over Flamengo (1-1, 4-1 on penalties). FIFA announced this Thursday the date and venue for this match, which will once again be played at Ahmad Bin Ali Stadium (Qatar), on December 16.

The winner of this match will face South African club Mamelodi Sundowns, winners of the latest African Champions League, three days later for the Challenge Cup title.
