The best football year is about to arrive! The 2026 World Cup is just 365 days away from its opening phase, and Mexico did not let the occasion pass by, as it will become the only country to host three World Cups.
This Wednesday, Clara Brugada, Head of Government of Mexico City, and Alessandro del Piero, former footballer, unveiled the countdown clock for the start of the World Cup.

Likewise, Samuel García, governor of Nuevo León, did the same in Monterrey, and Amaury Vergara, owner of Chivas, led the event in Guadalajara.
Each of the 16 World Cup host cities will have one of these clocks, and they will be distinguished by the color of each host: green for Mexico, blue for the United States, and red for Canada.
We are one year away from the start of a historic event, as this will be the first World Cup with 48 participating countries. For now, 13 teams have already qualified.

⚠️ CBF informs Fifa of interest in hosting 2029 Club World Cup
Held in the United States, the 2025 Club World Cup has been a success, at least for Brazilian fans. Thus, taking advantage of the tournament's "hype", the CBF informed Fifa about its interest in hosting the 2029 World Cup. Advertisement "It all started with an introductory conversation. I spoke about my goals at the helm of CBF and said that we want to be closer to Fifa. I praised the event and the level of Brazilian clubs and, finally, offered the country to host the next World Cup. He was very happy, said it is totally possible. Now we are going to work to make it happen. It will be a great goal," said Samir Xaud, president of CBF, in an interview with O Globo newspaper. The meeting between Samir Xaud and Gianni Infantino and Mattias Grafström, president and secretary-general of Fifa, respectively, took place at the Fifa Football Executive Summit in Miami, with representatives from the 211 member associations of the entity. On social media, Infantino has been posting images of Brazilian fans' parties watching the games on the beaches of Brazil and in US cities. Advertisement What could "play against" this Brazilian "pre-candidacy" to host the 2029 Club World Cup is that, initially but not necessarily, the tournament would take place every four years as a replacement for the Confederations Cup, which was held a year before the World Cup as a "test event" for the country. In 2030, the World Cup will be held in Portugal, Spain and Morocco, but with some games taking place in Argentina and Uruguay as a tribute to the 100th anniversary of the first edition of the tournament.

📹 Espérance knock out Los Angeles, Flamengo through to the last 16
📹 Espérance knock out Los Angeles, Flamengo through to the last 16 This Friday (20), Espérance beat Los Angeles FC 1 x 0, at Geodis Park, in Nashville, in the second round of the first phase of the Club World Cup. The Tunisians' goal was scored by Belaili, in the second half. In stoppage time, Los Angeles had a chance to tie, but Bouanga missed a penalty, which was defended with the feet by Ben Said! With that, Flamengo is already qualified for the round of 16 of the tournament and with the first place in Group D secured. 🤔 How so? Flamengo leads Group D with six points, which has Chelsea and Espérance with three points. Los Angeles FC remains at zero and in the last place. Advertisement In the third and final round of the first phase, the Rubro-Negro faces the already eliminated LA, while the English and Tunisians measure strength. Thus, as the first tiebreaker criterion is head-to-head, even if Flamengo loses to the Americans and remains with six points, it would not be surpassed by either Chelsea or Espérance, as it beat both 3 x 1 and 2 x 0, respectively. With the classification secured, coach Filipe Luís should preserve Gerson, Pulgar, Bruno Henrique, and Gonzalo Plata in the game against Los Angeles FC, since they all have a yellow card. According to the tournament rules, two yellow cards suspend for the next match, meaning they would risk missing the round of 16.

Bayern Munich's English forward #09 Harry Kane gestures during the Club World Cup 2025 Group C football match between Germany's Bayern Munich and New Zealand's Auckland City at the TQL stadium in Cincinnati on June 15, 2025. More PAUL ELLIS/AFP via Getty Images How to Watch Bayern Munich vs Boca Juniors Date: Friday, June 20, 2025 Time: 9:00 PM ET Stream: DAZN (WATCH FOR FREE) Bayern Munich and Boca Juniors will take the pitch on Friday, June 20th, at Hard Rock Stadium in this FIFA Club World Cup match. Bayern asserted their dominance over Group C by thrashing Auckland City in their Club World Cup opener 10-0. They are the only team in the group that received maximum points, and it would be no surprise if they are able to once again pick up a win and guarantee themselves a spot in the knockout stage. Harry Kane is the man for Bayern, and somehow he failed to score despite the onslaught they put on Auckland. Expect him to get right in this one and try to find the back of the net here. If Boco Junior can at least force a draw, they will have a great chance to advance, considering their last match of the group stage is against Auckland, but that is a big if. This is a great Club World Cup matchup; make sure to tune in and catch all the action.
