Club World Cup Draw Results: Messi's Inter Miami Face Favorable Group

The draw for the 2025 Club World Cup has been revealed, with Inter Miami getting a potentially winnable group and a standalone opener.

The 2025 Club World Cup draw took place on Thursday, December 5, 2024, in Miami. The 32 participating clubs learned their group-stage opponents for the tournament, which will be played at 12 stadiums across the United States. Inter Miami, placed in Group A, drew Palmeiras from Brazil, Porto from Portugal, and Al Ahly from Egypt. On paper, this looks like a winnable group for Lionel Messi and Co. The Group A draw also opened up FIFA's worst-case scenario: a group-stage exit for Miami without a high-profile matchup. The full groups for the 2025 Club World Cup are as follows:
