Manchester City head to the United States this summer as one of 32 teams competing in the new-look FIFA Club World Cup.

After failing to win a trophy for just the second time in the Pep Guardiola era, Man City are poised for a deep run in the tournament given reported impending arrivals and the return of Rodri. Despite calls and criticism of a continuously packed match calendar, the tournament’s financial incentives won't be overlooked by all 32 teams.

Though, Guardiola will have to navigate certain absences with Mateo Kovačić suffering an Achilles injury. James McAtee has also been left out of the squad, plus reported news of Jack Grealish likely missing the cut as well. Still, they’re favoured to advance in their group and make a deep run given the overall talent level and coach on the touchline.

Here’s everything you need to know about Man City’s 2025 FIFA Club World Cup campaign.
