Group opponents and fixtures

The 32 participating teams from the six international confederations AFC, CAF, CONCACAF, CONMEBOL, OFC and UEFA have been divided into eight groups of four teams each. Each team will play three matches in the group stage, with the top two making the last 16. There will then be single knockout ties until the final determines the world champions.

It all starts for us on Wednesday 18 June (18:00 local time/24:00 Austrian time) in Cincinnati against our Mexican opponents CF Pachuca. On Sunday 22 June (18:00 local time/24:00 Austrian time) we will then go to Washington D. C. to face Al Hilal, before we have our final group stage match against Real Madrid in Philadelphia on Thursday 26 June (21:00 local time/03:00 Austrian time).

We have already taken a closer look at our group-stage opponents in an article you can read below.

FIFA Club World Cup Trophy Tour in Salzburg

The biggest prize in club football came to Salzburg - the spectacular newly created Club World Cup trophy was paraded through the cities of the clubs represented as part of an official Trophy Tour, including in our beloved home city! On Saturday 29 March the showpiece was exhibited to the public at the Theaterplatz in Europark. Details and a picture gallery can be found here:

How did our Red Bulls qualify?

The key to our qualification was our performances in the UEFA Champions League between 2020/21 and 2023/24. A total of 12 European teams qualified, with the last four Champions League winners making it, while the remaining eight places were allocated according to UEFA club coefficients. A maximum of two teams per nation were allowed to qualify via that route.

Base Camp and venues

Our team and staff will travel to the USA on 13 June, some five days before our first match. Our base camp for the tournament will be in New Jersey, from where we will fly (to Cincinnati and Washington) and take the bus (to Philadelphia) to our matches. We will train in the New York Red Bulls training centre around 15 minutes away, where two public training sessions are being planned for 14 June. Details are to follow.
