The Seattle Sounders open their FIFA Club World Cup 2025 campaign with a massive showdown against Brazilian powerhouse Botafogo at Lumen Field on June 15.
Riding high from hosting all three of their group stage matches, the Sounders will look to make history with their first-ever CWC win, having fallen short in 2023. While João Paulo’s reunion with his former club adds a personal twist, Seattle knows the challenge ahead is steep. Especially with Group B also featuring Atlético de Madrid and PSG. With the home crowd behind them, the MLS side hopes to ride that energy into a strong start against the reigning South American champs.
Botafogo arrives in Seattle as one of the hottest stories in world football. Once relegation-stricken, the Rio-based club has enjoyed a meteoric rise under American owner John Textor, winning the 2024 Copa Libertadores to punch their CWC ticket. With silverware in Brazil and continental glory behind them, the Série A side enters the tournament in solid form and will look to spoil the Sounders’ home-field advantage with a statement win.
