Astonishing Scenes at the FIFA Club World Cup 2025™

Mamelodi Sundowns players move back to the dressing room.

By the time the match kicked off on the morning of June 18, organizers had recorded only around 100 fans in the stands, while the Exploria Stadium’s capacity was around 25,500. This was a record low since the FIFA Club World Cup 2025™ kicked off on June 15.

FIFA President Gianni Infantino was in the stands watching the match. However, French referee Clement Turpin decided to postpone the match for about an hour due to bad weather. Turpin asked both teams to return to their locker rooms to avoid the storm, and spectators moved into the stadium. The match was then played.

The match between Ulsan Hyundai and Mamelodi Sundowns has been postponed.

Bad weather is also said to be one of the main reasons why spectators did not come to the stadium to watch the match live. In addition, this confrontation took place at noon in the middle of the week, causing many spectators to choose to watch on television instead of going to the stadium.

Ulsan Hyundai, led by former Malaysia coach Kim Pan-Gon, entered the tournament with inconsistent domestic form. The K.League side have won two AFC Champions League titles in the past. Brazilian striker Erick Farias is expected to be Ulsan Hyundai's main attacking spearhead.

Meanwhile, Mamelodi Sundowns, runners-up in the African Cup of Nations, are managed by Portuguese coach Miguel Cardoso. Lucas Ribeiro is the club's main striker, scoring 16 goals last season.

Both Ulsan Hyundai and Mamelodi Sundowns will be looking for a win on the opening day of the FIFA Club World Cup 2025™, especially after Fluminense held Dortmund to a 0-0 draw in Group F in their earlier match.

3 red cards in one match at the FIFA Club World Cup 2025™ On the morning of June 17, Benfica struggled to a 2-2 draw against Boca Juniors in Group C.
