MetLife Stadium in the United States is set to host a highly anticipated football showdown between France’s Paris Saint-Germain and England’s Chelsea in the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup Final. The match kicks off at 10 PM Cairo time and is expected to attract a massive global audience given the stature and European pedigree of both teams.

Chelsea Eyeing Another Global Glory
The London club heads into the clash aiming for a second Club World Cup title, having previously lifted the trophy in 2021 in the UAE. Fresh off their UEFA Europa Conference League triumph, Chelsea are determined to cap off their season on a high note, drawing confidence from recent continental success.
PSG Chasing a Historic Fifth Trophy
Paris Saint-Germain, on the other hand, are seeking their fifth trophy of the season, having already clinched a domestic treble in France (Ligue 1, Coupe de France, and Coupe de la Ligue) and their first-ever UEFA Champions League title. The star-studded squad is eager to cement their presence on the global stage and crown a dream season with yet another historic achievement.
African Stars in the Spotlight
All eyes will be on Senegalese striker Nicolas Jackson, who leads Chelsea’s attack and hopes to join the list of African players who have won the Club World Cup — a group of 15 prominent names who’ve shone in the competition with top global clubs.
Meanwhile, Moroccan full-back Achraf Hakimi will be looking to replicate past glory, having already won the title with Real Madrid in 2017. His appearance in this final represents a new personal milestone as a key figure in PSG’s lineup.
