The FIFA Club World Cup is an international men's association football competition organised by the Fédération Internationale de Football Association, the sport's global governing body. The competition was first contested in 2000 as the FIFA Club World Championship.
The 10 Indian Premier League teams competing for the coveted trophy in the 2025 edition all possess varied threats. While defending champions Kolkata Knight Riders have a new captain in the form of the 36-year-old Ajinkya Rahane, last season's runners-up Sunrisers Hyderabad have stuck with Pat Cummins as their leader.
