The exclusive matchups in the FIFA Club World Cup 2025 as the MLS side Seattle Sounders will host Botafogo at the Lumen Field. Currently 14th on the MLS table, the Sounders will be keen to start the competition on a high at their home turf. Facing the Brazilian side, Botafogo will probably be their easiest set of games given the other teams in Group B.

PSG after a commanding victory over Atletico Madrid is at the top of Group B. Botafogo and Seattle Sounders will take on each other for the first time in history. Botafogo qualified by winning the 2024 Copa Libertadores champions, defeating Atlético Mineiro 3-1 in the final match. Being four games unbeaten, the Brazilian side will expect to leave a mark in their opening clash of the FIFA tournament.

Wake up, Seattle 🤩
