The 2025 FIFA Intercontinental Cup will be the second edition of the FIFA Intercontinental Cup, an annual club association football tournament organised by FIFA. The tournament will comprise the six teams that won the previous edition of the continental championships in each FIFA confederation, playing each other in a single-elimination bracket. The last three matches will take place at a neutral venue from 10 to 17 December 2025.[1]
The tournament broadly maintains the format of the previous annual versions of the FIFA Club World Cup, which was expanded and reorganised into a quadrennial tournament with more entrants, with the exception of changes to venues for the initial rounds.[2]
Second round: The winners of the 2024–25 AFC Champions League Elite will play the winners of the first round for the title of the "FIFA African–Asian–Pacific Cup". The match will be hosted by the club from the country with the higher ranking in the FIFA Men's World Ranking. In parallel, the winners of the 2025 Copa Libertadores and the winners of the 2025 CONCACAF Champions Cup will play each other at a neutral venue in a match that will be denominated the "FIFA Derby of the Americas".
Play-off: The winners of the second round matches will play each other in the "FIFA Challenger Cup".
Final: The winners of the play-off (FIFA Challenger Cup) will play the winners of the 2024–25 UEFA Champions League.
If a match is tied after normal playing time, extra time will be played. If still tied after extra time, a penalty shoot-out will be held to determine the winner.
