SE Palmeiras will be kicking off the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup group stage matches on Jun. 15 as they face off against FC Porto. As the team prepares to make their way to East Rutherford in a few months, it is essential that we take a closer look at the team and their history.
SE Palmeiras, officially known as The Sociedade Esportiva Palmeiras, is a Brazilian football club based in São Paulo, Brazil. Founded in 1914, the club sports a lengthy history in football, establishing themselves as one of South America’s most popular teams.
The club will be taking on FC Porto, who are based out of Portugal in their first match in the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup on Jun. 15. Shortly after, on Jun. 19, the club will be returning to East Rutherford to take on Al Ahly FC.
As the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup nears and MetLife Stadium prepares to host the finals, more spotlight will be shown on these teams. While their presence outside of America may be large, it has room to improve in the States, which is why the Club World Cup will put more eyes on these clubs from the United States’ audience.
