Brazilian side Fluminense went from relegation candidate to surprise Club World Cup semi-finalists and will now face Chelsea as they aim to write a fairytale in the United States. The club from Rio de Janeiro is the only non-European club to reach this stage of the revamped tournament.

Former champions Chelsea play Fluminense, one of Brazil’s most popular sides, in the first semifinal of Club World Cup.

FIFA has significantly reduced ticket prices for the 2025 Club World Cup semifinal between Chelsea and Fluminense in a bid to fill seats at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey.
