Cruz Azul and Flamengo are set to face off in the quarterfinals of the 2025 FIFA Intercontinental Cup, taking place on December 10th at the Ahmad Bin Ali Stadium in Qatar. The match will be broadcast online in Mexico via FIFA+ and in the United States through Fanatiz USA and fuboTV. This game marks a significant event as Cruz Azul, representing CONCACAF after winning the Concacaf Champions League, competes against Flamengo, the Copa Libertadores champion from Brazil. Cruz Azul qualified for this tournament after their victory over Vancouver Whitecaps last summer, earning the CONCACAF Champions Cup title and a spot in the 2029 Club World Cup. Flamengo secured their place by winning the Copa Libertadores, defeating Palmeiras in the final. The tournament's format involves knockout rounds starting from September, with the quarterfinals, semifinals, and final scheduled from December 10th to December 17th at the Lusail Stadium, the same venue as the 2022 World Cup final. The 2025 edition features teams from various continents: Auckland City from Oceania, Al-Ahli from Asia, Pyramids from Africa, Flamengo from South America, and Cruz Azul from North America. The competition's structure includes an initial round, quarterfinals, semifinals, and a final, with the winner facing PSG, the reigning European champions, in the final. Historically, the Copa Intercontinental has been dominated by clubs like Real Madrid with four titles, followed by Peñarol, Nacional, AC Milan, and Boca Juniors with three each. The most recent champion in 2024 was Real Madrid, who defeated Pachuca 3-0. The upcoming match between Cruz Azul and Flamengo is highly anticipated, as Flamengo recently won the Copa Libertadores and the Brazilian Serie A, while Cruz Azul aims to build on their recent CONCACAF success. The winner will advance to face Pyramids in the semifinals, with the ultimate goal of competing against PSG in the final.
