Bring on PSG! All you need to know about this year's Intercontinental Cup 🌎

Flamengo still has much to celebrate for the Libertadores title won this Saturday (29).

But the club can already envision (and plan) competing in another international tournament later this year.

The South American title secured Flamengo a spot in the FIFA Intercontinental Cup, a tournament that brings together all the continental champions of 2025.

The competition was "revamped" last year, even gaining a new name.

And OneFootball brings here the main information about the tournament, which started in September.

Finalist already determined

The format adopted in 2024 places the European champion directly in the final of the competition.

Therefore, PSG is already in the decision thanks to its unprecedented Champions League title won in May.

Participants

🇫🇷 PSG - European champion

🇧🇷 Flamengo - South American champion

🇪🇬 Pyramids - African champion

🇲🇽 Cruz Azul - North America / Caribbean champion

🇸🇦 Al Ahli - Asian champion

🇳🇿 Auckland City - Oceania champion

Complete format

The Intercontinental Cup began in September, with the opening match between Auckland City and Pyramids.

The Egyptian club won and subsequently overcame Al Ahli in Saudi Arabia, securing a spot in the semifinal and the FIFA Africa-Asia-Oceania Cup trophy.

The other semifinalist will come from the duel between the Libertadores champion and Cruz Azul, competing for the Americas Derby trophy.

The Brazilian club's debut and the subsequent matches of the Intercontinental Cup will take place in Qatar.
