2025 FIFA Club World Cup: Chelsea aims at winning the untimate after a “hectic” run in the competition
12th July 2025
Chelsea Football Club came into the FIFA Club World Cup as one of the “underdogs,” having won the UEFA Europa Conference League title this season, the London outfit were regarded as just a normal team, only “adding up to the numbers” because they lifted the UEFA Champions League title in 2021—a fortune for the 2022 FIFA Club World Cup winners as the football governing body only added them because of the expansion of the tournament in the novel format.
All odds were against the 2012 UCL winners as they were despised in their stride to reaching this stage of the competition— the final; after coming up against very dominant Brazilian teams in the history of the tournament, the six-time EPL winners rose against their “despisers” and gave off some incredible performances in their quest to reaching the grand final of the tournament.
Enzo Maresca, the manager of the side has made some impressive and remarkable impact on the team, having battled the uncertainty of European football qualification in his first season, battling a tentative impact on results as he and his charges kept putting in the work.
In the end, he completed the season with a Top 4 finish, clinching the UEFA Europa Conference League title and also making history with the club as the first on the continent to win all three major titles in the inter-club European competitions.
Now, at the crossroads of a possible global glory and history making, the Blues, once again will go in as the “underdogs” against all odds as they will look to battle it out against reigning French and European champions, PSG who have had an excellent run in the competition, winning 5 out of all 6 games played as they triumphed against the likes of Atletico Madrid, Bayern Munich and Real Madrid in the journey to the final. They will be looking to clinch their first ever FIFA Club World Cup title as they lock horns with the 2022 champions on Sunday, July 13 2025
Chelsea on the other hand will look to capitalize on their incredible run in the competition and look to add to their trophy collection as they look to finish the season on a high, aiming to grab their second of the season.
