When we talk about Football, the first thing that comes to mind is FIFA. This is the reputation the organizers have made for themselves in the eyes of the world. FIFA takes responsibility for organizing the World Cup and some of the most popular football tournaments. FIFA has organized three major tournaments for 2025. These are some of the biggest competitions that the world looks forward to. In fact, several sportsbooks look forward to the FIFA World Cups as the activity for sports betting increases drastically. Get brief information about all the three tournaments that are scheduled to happen below:
FIFA World Cup 2025
The FIFA World Cup 2025 will be the 21st edition of the tournament, which will be played in the USA between June 15 and July 13, 2025. It will be the first tournament planned with an extended version of 32 teams participating. It will also see the inclusion of the four teams that won the previous continental championships. Manchester City won the last tournament in 2023 and will be the defending champions. They won in the previous format, so all eyes will be on the teams to see their performance in the brand-new format launched by FIFA.
For the FIFA World Cup to happen in the USA, a selection of 12 venues has been done in 11 cities for the matches to be conducted. There will be eight groups of four teams each. The matches will decide which teams will reach the next round and, eventually, the finals. The finals will be held in East Rutherford on July 13, 2025, and it is expected to have one of the biggest viewership in the world. Apple has acquired the rights to broadcast the matches and paid $1 billion for the tournament. The broadcasting rights, however, are still under discussion as the deal with Apple has not been entirely finalized.
FIFA Futsal Women’s World Cup Philippines 2025
This tournament will be the inaugural edition of the FIFA Futsal Women’s Football World Cup. It is an international tournament that will be conducted in the Philippines from November 21st to December 7th. Several countries showed their interest in hosting the first World Cup of this tournament, but the Philippines definitely won the round of discussions. As the country has some exceptional stadiums and facilities to host the matches, they were given preference over many other popular destinations.
Sixteen teams will be a part of the tournament. Each group of four teams is made as a part of the format. Qualification matches will help decide which teams will participate in the tournament towards the end. There are multiple venues where the matches will be conducted, and the stadiums have a good seating capacity, making the tournament a desirable and popular one to look forward to. The FIFA administration has yet to give the final verdict on the venues, along with the fixtures and schedules.
