Chelsea and Manchester City are among the many 32 teams fighting for a trophy on the FIFA Club World Cup 2025, which begins this weekend.
The west London club and Pep Guardiola’s side are the one two Premier League teams involved with no Arsenal, Liverpool or Manchester United.
Chelsea and City are two of the 12 European teams in motion with Real Madrid, Bayern Munich and Paris-Saint Germain all hunting silverware too.
But seeing as there’ll only be one champion – here’s exactly what’s going to occur if Chelsea or City find yourself clinching the 2025 Club World Cup title…

If Chelsea or City land the Club World Cup trophy in the USA, they are going to get to wear a special gold badge on their shirts for the subsequent 4 years.
The badge is there to recognise the achievement of the winning team until the subsequent edition of the Club World Cup takes place in 2029.
The winner also receives the FIFA Club World Cup trophy, after all, in addition to a FIFA World Champions certificate.
Club World Cup prize money
Should Chelsea or City win the Club World Cup, they might be handed a considerable amount of prize money from FIFA – £97m ($125m).
That’s just like the quantity French club PSG earned from clinching the Champions League trophy in 2025.
A complete of £774m ($1b) in prize money might be split across the 32 participating teams.
Have Chelsea and Man City won the Club World Cup before?
Yes – each teams have previously won the Club World Cup – before it was revamped and expanded to 32 teams for 2025.
Chelsea won the 2021 Club World Cup under the management of former boss Thomas Tuchel, defeating Brazilian side Palmeiras in the ultimate.
City, meanwhile, are the defending Club World Cup champions, having landed the trophy in 2023 with a victory against Fluminense in the ultimate.
Each of their triumphs got here when the Club World Cup was only contested between seven teams within the old format – which only featured one European side – whoever won essentially the most recent Champions League.
City have had the Club World Cup gold winners’ badge on their kit since they won the tournament two years ago.
Guardiola’s team have been allowed to wear it for back-to-back campaigns because the Club World Cup was not contested in 2024 – with the FIFA Intercontinental Cup happening as an alternative.
Chelsea and City were picked for this yr’s Club World Cup because they’ve each won the Champions League across the last 4 seasons.
The winners of the last 4 Champions Leagues robotically qualify for the Club World Cup under the brand new format. The opposite eight places for European teams are determined by a UEFA rating system, based on teams’ performances in Europe over the past 4 seasons.
