2025 FIFA Club World Cup Group H


Group H was one of eight groups in the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup, an international club soccer tournament hosted in the United States and organized by FIFA. It comprised four teams: Real Madrid of Spain; Al-Hilal of Saudi Arabia; Pachuca of Mexico; and Red Bull Salzburg of Austria. Teams qualified by winning the respective continental club championships of their confederation or through a ranking of their performance in competitions. Only two clubs per country were allowed to qualify unless three or four won their respective continental club championship. The 2025 edition of the FIFA Club World Cup was the first in the tournament's history to be played under its quadrennial format with 32 teams. The group's matches began on June 18 and concluded on June 26.

Teams

The four teams in Group H were decided by the FIFA Club World Cup draw held by FIFA on December 5, 2024, in the Miami area. The 32 participants were divided into four pots based on their confederation and ranking within FIFA's club ranking system. Each of the eight groups would receive one team from each pot. Teams from the same confederation could not be drawn into the same group except for those from UEFA, which had twelve slots; teams from the same national association were not able to be drawn into the same group.

Discipline

Fair play points would have been used as tiebreakers if the overall and head-to-head records of teams were tied. These were calculated based on yellow and red cards received in all group matches as follows:
  • first yellow card: −1 point;
  • indirect red card : −3 points;
  • direct red card: −4 points;
  • yellow card and direct red card: −5 points;
Only one of the above deductions was applied to a player in a single match.
