“CBP is working with FIFA to facilitate the lawful travel of players and fans to the FIFA Club World Cup at our ports of entry,” he said. “CBP will continue to safeguard our borders and welcome the world. From international arrivals to championship dreams, we’re here to keep it all running strong.”

It’s taken time for the Club World Cup to build brand awareness, but opening weekend drew huge crowds in Miami, NYC and Los Angeles.

Bayern Munich and Paris Saint-Germain, two of the best clubs in the world, are showing their early dominance at the tournament. Meanwhile, some non-European squads, like Brazilian club Palmeiras and Botafogo, are putting up strong performances to open the group stage.

The FIFA Club World Cup is being overshadowed by rumors and social media posts suggesting increased immigration enforcement presence at matches — not just in Seattle, but across the country.

Another younger player to watch out for at the FIFA Club World Cup 2025 is Mauricio. The Palmeiras star already has eight goals and two assists in 15 appearances. With creativity and vision and a keen eye for goal, the 23-year-old is an automatic choice in the list of players to watch out for in the tournament.
