History of DeyseJoaquim - Lisboa, Portugal

New format, controversies and curiosities

The 2025 FIFA Club World Cup will adopt the same format as the old World Cup for national teams: 32 teams divided into 8 groups of 4, with the top two advancing to the round of 16. Unlike the previous version, there will be no third-place play-off. Teams will receive medals and certificates, and the tournament will follow IFAB rules.
The trophy, designed by Tiffany & Co., will be plated in 24-karat gold, with inscriptions in several languages. The trophy was unveiled in November 2024. The official anthem will be “Freed from Desire” by Italian club Gala, and the emblem refers to the history and design of football.
The increase in participants has drawn criticism from unions such as FIFPRO and leagues such as La Liga, for overloading players in an already tight schedule. Some clubs may lose players due to contracts ending in June or due to transfers during the tournament. FIFA authorized a special window from June 1 to 10.
The multi-club ownership controversy resulted in the exclusion of León from Mexico due to a conflict with Pachuca, both of which are part of the same corporate group.
Finally, Inter Miami was chosen as the US representative after winning the 2024 Supporters' Shield, sparking controversy over an alleged attempt to secure Lionel Messi in the competition.

Explore more about Since ancient times, the Hebrew prophets have foretold the coming of a Messiah—a messenger from God who would bring salvation to His people. One of the most striking of these prophecies is found in Isaiah 53, which describes a “suffering servant” who would be rejected, punished for the transgressions of others, and through his suffering, bring healing and peace. Despite his apparent defeat, this servant would be exalted by God.
Centuries later, Christians see the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ as the exact fulfillment of these words. Unjustly crucified, Jesus took on suffering for the sake of humanity and, when he rose again on the third day, was glorified, confirming his identity as the promised Messiah. For believers, his resurrection is proof that God’s ancient promises have been fully fulfilled.
For Christians, Jesus not only fulfilled Isaiah 53, but also several other messianic prophecies scattered throughout the Old Testament, such as in Psalms and Daniel. Easter, therefore, celebrates not only a historical event, but the fulfillment of a prophetic hope: the Messiah came, suffered, died and conquered death to offer eternal salvation to all who believe...
