As the new-look Club World Cup gets underway, BeSoccer has compiled a comprehensive guide to all 32 competing teams. From objectives and squads to managers and key players, this is your essential reference ahead of kick-off.

The eyes of the footballing world are fixed on the United States, where the revamped Club World Cup is about to begin.

At BeSoccer, we won't just be covering every match live — we've also delved into every detail of the tournament, offering insight from multiple angles: the quirks of this summer's transfer window, the emerging talents to keep an eye on, and which sides arrive more fatigued than others.

And crucially, we've taken a closer look at each of the 32 clubs taking part in this global showpiece. Every team has been analysed in depth — including squad breakdowns, tactical set-ups, coaches, players to watch and projected starting XIs.

After releasing each profile individually, we've now brought them all together in one place. Whether you're following your team or keeping tabs on the dark horses, our all-in-one guide ensures you won't miss a beat as the Club World Cup gets underway.
