Qatar has been confirmed as the host of the last three matches of the FIFA™ Intercontinental Cup, presented by Aramco, this season. This is the world's premier annual club competition, giving the champions of the six confederations a chance to compete on the global stage.

The final phase, consisting of three matches, will take place in Qatar in December, marking the climax of the tournament.

The third match, officially called the FIFA Americas Derby, is scheduled for Wednesday, December 10. The match will feature Mexican club Cruz Azul, winner of the 2025 CONCACAF Champions Cup, and the eventual champion of the 2025 CONMEBOL Libertadores, whose confirmation is expected on November 29, 2025.

The winners of the Americas Derby will face Egypt's Pyramids FC in the competition's fourth match: the FIFA Challenger Cup, on Saturday, December 13, 2025.

Pyramids, the CAF champion, has already secured its place in the Challenger Cup by defeating Auckland City FC (OFC champion) and Al Ahli FC (AFC champion) from New Zealand, en route to winning the FIFA Africa-Asia-Pacific Cup in Jeddah on September 23.

The competition will conclude with the final of the FIFA Intercontinental Cup on Wednesday, December 17, 2025, with the winner of the FIFA Challenger Cup facing Paris Saint-Germain, winner of the 2024-2025 UEFA Champions League, in a battle for the annual club's biggest prize.

This exciting period highlights Qatar's ongoing role as a major host country, as the country will also host the FIFA™ U-17 World Cup and the FIFA™ Arab Cup in November and December, using the facilities, stadiums and infrastructure built for the FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022™.

Last year's FIFA Intercontinental Cup saw the introduction of the updated tournament format, with Real Madrid emerging victorious by defeating Pachuca in front of nearly 70,000 fans at Qatar's iconic Lusail Stadium in December 2024.

Both the Americas Derby and the Challenger Cup will take place at the Ahmad Bin Ali Stadium, and the venue for the final will be announced in due course.
