Ousmane Dembele believes the 2025 Club World Cup will offer a fresh and thrilling experience for players and fans alike.
With 32 clubs from across the globe set to clash, the Paris Saint-Germain forward is eager to embrace the mix of styles the expanded format promises.
Speaking ahead of the tournament, Dembele shared his excitement about facing unfamiliar opponents. PSG will play teams they’ve never encountered before, including Brazilian side Botafogo and MLS outfit Seattle Sounders, bringing a unique blend of flair, tactics, and atmosphere.
The French winger sees it as more than just competition, it’s a cultural exchange on the pitch. He highlighted the opportunity to engage with PSG’s American fanbase as a major bonus, saying it adds something special to the global stage.
“Yes, that’s right. I think it’s going to be a mix of different types of football, whether it’s Botafogo in our group. We know a bit more about Atletico Madrid, but we’ve never played Seattle.” he said.
Dembele has been crucial this season, with 33 goals and 12 assists in 47 matches under Luis Enrique.
