Losers of the Semi-final at the 2025 Club World Cup will be not play a third-place match. This is according to FIFA
That means that both Real Madrid and Fluminense will leave the United States before this weekend.
Madrid suffered a 4-0 defeat in the hands of Paris Saint-Germain in their semi-final clash, while Chelsea beat Fluminense 2-0.
These results means PSG will face Chelsea in the final on Sunday.
In other major tournaments, teams that lose their semi-final games also face off for a bronze medal.
But FIFA said in a statement: “There will be no third-place match, or bronze final, at the FIFA Club World Cup 2025.
“For the inaugural edition of this elite global competition, FIFA decided not to include this match to ensure that clubs and players who do not make the final can travrl for their next commitments as soon as possible.”
