In the tournament's abbreviated form last season, Manchester City were crowned champions of the FIFA Club World Cup, and will look to repeat this time around as the team to beat in Group G.
Lionel Messi and his team, Inter Miami CF, will have the opportunity to make some noise on the world stage, representing the MLS as the favourites out of Group A.
The most recent Champions League winners, Paris Saint-Germain, will look to emulate their championship form in this tournament as one of the betting favourites to win it all.
FC Bayern Munchen, who already started the tournament with a lopsided 10-0 win over New Zealand's Auckland City FC, are also one of the top contenders in this year's Cup.
Real Madrid, who hold the record with the most Champions League trophies of all time in Europe, round out the top clubs in the tournament.

‘Dialed in' from October, the Panthers are a win away from repeating as Stanley Cup champions
Advertisement And that was before the real hockey started. Now, more than 250 days later, the Panthers are one win away from repeating as champions, and the Stanley Cup will be in the building with their chance to extend its stay in Florida if they defeat the Oilers in Game 6 of the final on home ice Tuesday night. Get Starting Point A guide through the most important stories of the morning, delivered Monday through Friday. Enter Email Sign Up 'It's business as usual,' top-line winger Sam Reinhart said. 'We're obviously excited about the position we're in. You put all the work to be playing at this time of year, so we're excited.' They also know what to expect this time around. Florida lost its first opportunity to close out Edmonton after going up 3-0 in the final last year, then let the next two slip away before finally Advertisement Matthew Tkachuk of the Panthers hopes to lift the Stanley Cup on home ice Tuesday night as Florida hosts the Edmonton Oilers in Game 6 of the Stanley Cup Final. Carmen Mandato/Getty Everything was new then, from handling the butterflies and the logistics of families getting to town to thinking about the order of passing the big silver chalice around on the ice. 'There's a whole bunch of stuff you have to go through the first time and then there's all these superstitions — you don't want to talk about it, you want to talk about it — well, there are things you have to talk about,' coach Paul Maurice said. 'All of that stuff got dealt with last year when we went through it for the first time. Now, just get ready for the hockey game. It's a different set of emotions for us.' This final has unfolded differently, with the teams That was utter domination, and, unlike last year, their first chance to hoist the Cup comes in front of home fans in Sunrise. 'We're just excited to be back home, and we're excited to hopefully keep that going after last game,' winger Matthew Tkachuk said. 'We think we've played pretty good hockey over this whole series, in the whole playoffs, but especially the last few, so we know this is the type of game we have to play.' Some FILTHY stuff from Marchy 🤢 — x - Florida Panthers (@FlaPanthers) Florida is looking to become just the third team to go back to back since the NHL's salary cap era began in 2005, joining the Lightning in 2020 and '21 and the Penguins in '16 and '17. Just 18 have done it in league history. Advertisement The Panthers are favored on BetMGM Sportsbook to take Game 6. After laying an egg and getting pushed to the brink of elimination, the Oilers are hoping to drag the series back to Edmonton for Game 7 on Friday night. 'For whatever reason, our group doesn't like to make it easy on ourselves,' Oilers captain and co-playoff leading scorer Connor McDavid said. 'We've put ourselves in another difficult spot, and it's our job to work our way out of it.' Only eight of the 44 teams to fall behind 3-2 in the final have gone on to win. Boston was the last to do it in 2011 against Vancouver, extending Canada's Cup drought that goes back to 1993. The Panthers would love to make this the 31st consecutive season it is won by a team in the US. They have played a lot of games over the past three years and trips to the final, but the chance to lift the trophy is enough to push off that fatigue for at least one more game and two at most. 'You play all year to try to win a Stanley Cup,' forward Evan Rodrigues said. 'It's in our grasp and, yeah, I'm sure we're all going to be ready to go.'

Frenchman Nolan Traoré among second group of prospects invited to NBA draft green room
Frenchman Nolan Traoré among second group of prospects invited to NBA draft green room Frenchman Nolan Traoré is among the second group of prospects invited to attend the 2025 NBA draft from the green room at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York. Traoré was named the Champions League Best Young Player after averaging 12.2 points, 4.7 assists and 1.9 rebounds in 44 games with Saint-Quentin in France. He registered seven 20-point games, including a 25-point effort on May 9. Joining Traoré in the green room are Noa Essengue (ratiopharm Ulm), Liam McNeeley (UConn), Collin Murray-Boyles (South Carolina), Will Riley (Illinois) and Thomas Sorber (Georgetown), according to Jonathan Givony of ESPN. Teams with first-round picks each year vote on the players they believe will be drafted early, typically the top 20-25 prospects. Last year, 25 prospects were invited to the green room, and only two weren't selected in the first round (Kyle Filipowski, Johnny Furphy). Last week, the first batch of invitations was reportedly sent out to the top players, including Cooper Flagg (Duke), Dylan Harper (Rutgers), Ace Bailey (Rutgers), VJ Edgecombe (Baylor) and Tre Johnson (Texas). The league is expected to invite at least five more prospects. The 2025 NBA draft will feature a two-night format for the second consecutive year, with the first round scheduled for June 25 and the second round for June 26.
