UEFA Europa League Final
The UEFA Europa League is one of the most popular club soccer tournaments originating from Europe, often considered the second-most important club competition in Europe after the UEFA Champions League.
The premise of the competition is that it brings together teams that were unable to qualify for the UEFA Champions League to compete in a battle of glory. This season featured 36 (previously 32) teams competing.
The prize? A chance to play in the next season of the UEFA Champions League. While most of this tournament is over since it kicked off in July 2024, the final remains and is scheduled for 21st May 2025.
2025 UEFA Champions League Final
The tournament kicked off in 1955 and was previously known as the European Champion Clubs’ Cup. Today, the UEFA Champions league is the most globally watched club football championship from Europe.
The 2024 to 2025 tournament is the first one to feature 36 (previously 32) of the top teams, including national champions and other top clubs in major national leagues of European football associations.
Like the UEFA Europa League, most of this championship is over too, however, the final has yet to display its ferocity and thrill and is scheduled for 31st May 2025.
2025 FA Cup Final
Launched in 1871, the Football Association Cup is the oldest national soccer tournament in the world and the most popular men’s domestic football tournament in England. The tournament is held by and named after the Football Association, the main football governing body in England.
The tournament puts lower-league teams from outside of the English Football League (EFL) and the Premier League in a qualifying battle to enter into the official proper rounds, after which they face teams from the major leagues.
The tournament runs as a knockout tournament, with teams being eliminated after just a single loss. Like the previous two tournaments on the list, this one also has just the final scheduled for May 17, 2025, at Wembley Stadium, where the final is held traditionally.
FIFA Club World Cup
The FIFA Club World Cup is the club version of the FIFA World Cup, where instead of national teams, teams from different clubs across the globe come together for a battle of skill and speed. The tournament commenced in 2000 as the FIFA Club World Championship.
The competition has seen its fair share of twists and turns. It was halted between 2001 and 2004. From 2005 to 2023, the tournament was played annually. This year marks the first tournament that will be held following the shift to a quadrennial format. The tournament will be hosted in the United States and will feature 32 club teams.
These include 12 European teams, 6 South American teams, 4 Asian teams, 4 African teams, 4 teams from North, Central America, and the Caribbean, 1 Oceanic team, and 1 American. It will be held across multiple locations in America from June 14 till July 13, 2025.
Football – A Bond that Brings Hispanic Generations Together
