The 2025 FIFA Club World Cup was an international soccer tournament held in the United States from June 14 to July 13, 2025. The 32 clubs involved in the tournament were required to register an initial squad of between 26 and 35 players, including three goalkeepers. Only players in these squads were eligible to take part in the tournament.
A provisional squad list of between 26 and 50 players, including four goalkeepers, had to be submitted by each club to FIFA. The provisional lists were not made public by FIFA, with changes allowed prior to the submission of the final list (including for newly registered players). From June 1 to 10, 2025, the member associations of all participating clubs implemented an extraordinary transfer window to allow for the registration of newly signed players. From the provisional squad, the final list of at least 26 and at most 35 players per club was submitted to FIFA by 10 June, four days prior to the opening match of the tournament. FIFA published the final lists with squad numbers on their website on June 11. During the competition, clubs could make limited changes to their final list from June 27 to July 3, should the club's member association have a transfer window open during this period. However, no player could appear for two clubs during the tournament. In the event that a goalkeeper on the submitted squad list suffered from an injury or illness prior to or during the tournament, that player could be replaced at any time. The club doctor and the FIFA Tournament Medical Lead had to both confirm that the injury or illness was severe enough to prevent the player from participating in the tournament.
Players could wear squad numbers between 1 and 99, provided they were registered with the same number in the club's most recent domestic league season. While clubs could name up to 35 players, only 26 players (11 starters and 15 substitutes) could be selected to participate in each match.
As the tournament started four days after the conclusion of an international window, clubs were only required to arrive three to five days before their first match. This scheduling was criticized for giving players an inadequate amount of rest prior to the start of the tournament. While clubs were required to submit their official squads to FIFA, not all registered players necessarily traveled to the tournament.
The position listed for each player is per the official squad list published by FIFA. The age listed for each player is as of June 14, 2025, the first day of the tournament. The nationality for each player reflects the national team they are eligible for as defined under FIFA eligibility rules.
During the duration of the tournament, participating clubs were not required to release players to their national teams for tournaments in the FIFA calendar (namely the 2025 CONCACAF Gold Cup). However, clubs were still required to release players for the international window immediately prior to the tournament, from June 2 to 10, 2025.
In order to be eligible, all players in each squad had to be duly registered with their club in accordance with the both regulations of FIFA and the relevant member association. Clubs are also required to field their strongest teams throughout the competition.
The potential impact of transfers on the tournament was questioned, as the transfer window was open in many leagues during the tournament, and thus players in the tournament could potentially be moved to a different club during the tournament, including to other participating clubs. In addition, many player contracts in Europe expired on June 30, which could have affected the participation of some players. In view of this, in October 2024 the FIFA Council finalized the rules on transfers for the tournament, with the intent to "equalise inconsistencies created by differences in registration periods and domestic-season timings between participating clubs to the greatest extent possible". Therefore, all member associations of participating clubs were given the option of opening an extraordinary registration window from June 1 to 10, 2025, which applied to all clubs of the relevant member association. This allowed for clubs to register new signings prior to the start of the competition, instead of being limited by the usual transfer window dates, often which opened on July 1. While opening the additional window remained at the full discretion of the member associations, all twenty associations with participating clubs did so.
Additionally, as the transfer window for many FIFA member associations opened during the course of the tournament, clubs could make changes to the final list between June 27 to July 3, 2025, subject to the following conditions:
However, for players and coaches with a contract ending or transfer planned during the tournament, FIFA's objective was to "encourage clubs and players whose contracts are expiring to find an appropriate solution to facilitate the players' participation".
While players typically could only be registered with up to three clubs during a single season, and be eligible to play official matches for two clubs within this period, matches at the Club World Cup did not count towards this restriction. Should two clubs have included the same player on their respective provisional lists, the FIFA general secretariat would have decided which club the player would represent after hearing all concerned parties. While clubs could make changes to their final list during the competition, no player could represent multiple clubs during the tournament.
