The World Championship 2.0 kicks off next summer with the 32 top teams gathering in the United States, and the group draw was finalized on Friday (6), with highlights such as Manchester City versus FC Zuyuntas and Paris Saint-Germain against Sporting Club de Madrid. Meanwhile, the pressure will be on the USMNT to take on African champions Ai Ali in the opening match of the Maiami International.
FIFA has upgraded the World Championship to a quadrennial event, with the number of participating teams increasing to 32. However, under the disparity of power and weakness, Real Madrid, Manchester City, Chelsea, Inter Milan and other European giants have had a rough road to promotion. For example, in Group G, although Manchester City is in the same group as Juventus, the strength of Vedaca Sablanca and Aaan is not to be underestimated, posing a potential threat.
In the group stage, there are sparks flying between the best of the best, with Chelsea and Falintek meeting in Group D, and the return of Brazilian veteran Dareus highly anticipated, while the match between Real Madrid and Hilal in Group H is expected to witness the collision of two superstars, Kylian Mbappe and Neymar.
The controversial "representative of the host country" will be present in the opening match of the Miami International on June 15 against Egyptian rivals El Ary. This year's World Championship will last nearly a month, with the final to be played on July 13th.
