The world's biggest club tournament will kick off in the US on June 15 and Man City, the reigning champions of the old FIFA Club World Cup, are in Group G with Wydad FC (Morocco), Al Ain (UAE) and Juventus (Italy). The schedule for Pep Guardiola's team to play against the three aforementioned opponents is June 18, 23 and 27.
Man City's 2025 FIFA Club World Cup squad
In the official list of 27 players for the nearly month-long tour in North America, coach Pep Guardiola has left out many key players who have been in poor form recently. It is not difficult to point out one of them is the once-noisy name - Jack Grealish.
This "hundred million star" only started 7 matches in the Premier League in the 2024-2025 season, continuing a difficult streak for 2 seasons in a hopeless effort to find a starting position at Etihad Stadium.
Jack Grealish's future at Man City uncertain
Former captain Kyle Walker is also not listed in North America. The English right-back was loaned out to AC Milan for the second half of last season and has just returned to the Etihad Stadium. Walker's future at City continues to be in question and he will probably only be able to look to a club to help him if he has not yet decided to retire.
Kyle Walker is no longer in Pep Guardiola's plans
Meanwhile, all four new recruits who have just arrived at the Etihad Stadium with a total transfer value of up to 180 million pounds, including goalkeeper Marcus Bettinelli (from Chelsea), left-back Rayan Ait-Nouri (Wolverhampton) and two midfielders Tijjani Reijnders (AC Milan) and Rayan Cherki (Lyon) are all on the list of players attending the FIFA Club World Cup 2025 of Man City.

Centre-back John Stones has officially returned after a long injury layoff, despite withdrawing from the England squad in the most recent training session. Meanwhile, young midfielder James McAtee will continue to play for England U21s, competing in the U21 Euro finals.
