Bayern Munich presses on the tube: Kracher against Boca Juniors!

Today, June 19, 2025, Bayern Munich will meet the traditional Argentine club Boca Juniors in the group phase of the FIFA Club World Championship. Bavaria was able to win his opening game with an impressive 10: 0 against Auckland City and could secure the entry into the round of 16 prematurely with another victory. This top-class match takes place in the Hard Rock Stadium in Miami , which will be sold out with 60,000 places.

Vincent Kompany, coach of Burnley, was positive about the encounter between these two great football clubs. Boca Juniors is under pressure after they only ended their opening game with a 2-2 draw against Benfica Lisbon. This could affect their performance in the coming game.

player change and debut opportunities

A special focus will be on Konrad Laimer, who has returned to the Bayern Camp late after the World Cup qualification games and is now in the club World Cup before his debut. Laimer could take its traditional place against Boca after being represented in the first game by Sacha Boey. In addition, Jamal Musiala, who has achieved a hat trick in the last match, could take a seat again as a Joker on the bench.

The FIFA Club World Championship will be held in a new format from 2025, which for the first time will include 32 participating teams. In this mode, which takes place every four years, the previous system is replaced with seven teams annually. The first teams are composed of the winners of the six continental club competitions and a team from the host country. The first edition in the new format is scheduled for this year in the United States, as reported.

Review of the past and new structures

The club World Cup has developed considerably since its introduction in 2000. From 2005 to 2023 the tournament took place annually before the reforms were announced to enable a greater representation of various associations. The last edition in the previous format took place in Saudi Arabia in December 2023. In the future, the group phase will be held in any other mode, followed by a knockout system from the round of 16.

The teams that take part in the new club World Cup hoped for a representation in an exciting format that should make the tournament more exciting and competitive. The record winners Real Madrid with five titles and the current title holder Manchester City look forward to the upcoming challenges.
