River Plate open their 2025 FIFA Club World Cup campaign against Japan’s Urawa Red Diamonds in Group E action at Seattle’s Lumen Field.
The Argentine giants qualified via CONMEBOL rankings and arrive with an elite mix of pedigree and talent, including European names like Marcos Acuna, German Pezzella, and Sebastian Driussi, who returns to U.S. soil after his successful MLS stint. With an attacking core led by Miguel Borja and youngster Franco Mastantuono, River are favorites to dominate a group that also features Inter Milan and Monterrey.
Urawa Reds, meanwhile, are hoping to spring a surprise despite inconsistent domestic form in the J1 League. While they’re currently third in Japan’s top flight, their inability to string together consistent results has made them unpredictable. Historically strong in continental competition, the three-time AFC Champions League winners will lean on experienced stars like Alexander Scholz and striker Jose Kanté to frustrate River’s rhythm.
