In the Group G match of the ongoing FIFA Club World Cup 2025, Manchester City and Wydad AC will take on each other. Talking about the Morocco-based Wydad, they finished third in the Botola Pro 1 2024-25 and qualified for the CAF Champions League 2025-26 edition. However, they had failed to do the same for the 2024-25 edition of CAF, won by Pyramids from Egypt.
Talking about the England-based City, they lost their Premier League title to Liverpool, which they had won four times in a row from 2020-21 to 2023-24. Apart from this, they had a poor UEFA Champions League 2024-25 season. They finished 22th in the league stage and had to win the knockout playoffs to qualify for the Round of 16 phase.
They lost to Real Madrid in the knockout playoffs and crashed out of the tournament. Apart from this, they lost the FA Cup 2024-25 final to Crystal Palace, who have now made it to the UEFA Europa League 2025-26 because of this performance. The 2024-25 season has been tough for the team and they would like to end on a high.
For those who are not aware of the Club World Cup format, 32 teams have been divided into eight groups of four teams each. The top two teams from every group will qualify for the Round of 16 knockout, followed by the Quarter Final, Semi Final and the Final. This is the first Group G game in this tournament.
