In Group C , AucklandCity played hard but could not avoid defeat 0-10 against Bayern Munich and 0-6 against Benfica. It is difficult to blame the New Zealand representative when the members of the team all have full-time jobs outside, and playing football is only a secondary source of income or a part-time job. Participation in the FIFA Club World Cup 2025™ gives the club the opportunity to reach global markets, strengthen its brand and attract sponsorship regardless of the result.
LosAngeles FC (LAFC) have no points after 2 matches and have no chance of advancing in Group D. Olivier Giroud and his teammates caused great disappointment when they lost 0-2 to Chelsea and 0-1 to Esperance Tunis. In the final round, even though they beat Flamengo, LAFC was still eliminated, due to their inferior head-to-head record to both Chelsea and Esperance Tunis.
Urawa Red Diamonds lost 1-3 to River Plate and 1-2 to Inter Milan, thus being eliminated early in Group E. The Japanese team sees their final match against Sergio Ramos' Monterrey as an opportunity to seek their first win or point in the tournament in the United States.
Similar to Urawa Red Diamonds, South Korea's Ulsan Hyundai failed to cause a surprise at the FIFA Club World Cup 2025™. The club was eliminated from the tournament after a 4-2 defeat to Fluminense on June 22. Ulsan Hyundai had previously lost 1-0 to Mamelodi Sundowns in their opening match of Group F.
In Group G , which featured both Man City and Juventus, Wydad AC tried hard but could not make a difference. The Moroccan team lost 0-2 to Man City and 1-4 to Juventus, so they were eliminated from the tournament after only 2 matches.
After losing 0-5 to Juventus, Al Ain continued to lose 6-0 to Man City in the second round of Group G , FIFA Club World Cup 2025™ on the morning of June 23. The UAE representative stopped playing with 11 goals conceded after 2 matches and did not score any goals.
On the morning of June 23, Pachuca became the next representative to say goodbye to the tournament taking place in the US. With a 1-2 defeat to Salzburg and a 1-3 defeat to Real Madrid in Group H , the Mexican representative no longer has a chance to win one of the two tickets to the knockout round of the tournament.
Real Madrid won the first match at the FIFA Club World Cup. In the early morning of June 23, Real defeated Pachuca 3-1 in the second match, Group F of the FIFA Club World Cup 2025™.
