FIFA Club World Cup - Every game free on DAZN.com
The 2025 FIFA Club World Cup kicks off this weekend, with every match available to watch free on DAZN, featuring some of the game's greatest modern-day superstars.
The tournament, held in the United States one year out from the 2026 FIFA World Cup set for North America, will see a host of teams bid to write their names into history.
But for more than two-dozen players, it is a chance to add another chapter to a playing legacy that has already seen them crowned world champions with their countries too.
Twenty-six faces across the teams ready to play from coast-to-coast have enjoyed success with Spain in 2010, Germany in 2014, France in 2018 and Argentina in 2022.
Here, DAZN News looks at the players who will feature at the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup while already holding a winner's medal for the biggest international prize of them all.
Spain (2010 FIFA World Cup)
It is a decade-and-a-half since La Roja made history against the Netherlands, and they will be among the favourites for glory next year after winning Euro 2024 against England.
Remarkably, two of the players who started that match are still playing their trade all these years later, with Sergio Ramos and Sergio Busquets both set to feature this summer.
The former Real Madrid favourite is currently enjoying his latest lease of life at Liga MX heavyweights Monterrey, while the latter plays his trade further north with Inter Miami.
A third member of their winning team will actually be in the dugout for the tournament too, with the retired Xabi Alonso succeeding Carlo Ancelotti as boss with Los Blancos.
- Sergio Busquets – Spain, 2010 – Inter Miami
- Sergio Ramos – Spain, 2010 – Monterrey
Germany (2014 FIFA World Cup)
Over a decade on from their remarkable triumph in Brazil - seemingly cutting off Lionel Messi's peak ambitions to lift the biggest honour in the game - Germany has had it rough.

No glory since has left them struggling to impose themselves both at national and club level, with Bayern Munich serving only one UEFA Champions League crown in the interim.
Two cornerstone players however will call on their big-game experience from South America to help them in the United States this time - Thomas Muller and Manuel Neuer.
For the former, it is the goodbye to a glittering career at the club, while the latter will hope to add another medal to his latest Bundesliga-winning season as club captain.
- Thomas Müller – Germany, 2014 – Bayern Munich
- Manuel Neuer – Germany, 2014 – Bayern Munich
France (2018 FIFA World Cup)
A glut of talent from the team that took Les Bleus to glory seven years ago - and then almost to success again four more after that - will line up for the FIFA Club World Cup too.

The headline names of course will be Kylian Mbappe, now looking to fire at Real Madrid after old club Paris Saint-Germain won the UEFA Champions League in his absence.
Three members of the Ligue 1 heavyweights - Ousmane Dembele, Lucas Hernandez and Presnel Kimpembe - will line up for Luis Enrique in pursuit of even more glory too.
Two of their most senior names however have been enjoying a new lease of life in America, with Hugo Lloris and Olivier Giroud both impressing in the MLS for Los Angeles FC.
- Ousmane Dembélé – France, 2018 – Paris Saint-Germain
- Olivier Giroud – France, 2018 – Los Angeles FC
- Antoine Griezmann – France, 2018 – Atletico Madrid
- Lucas Hernandez – France, 2018 – Paris Saint-Germain
- Presnel Kimpembe – France, 2018 – Paris Saint-Germain
- Thomas Lemar – France, 2018 – Atletico Madrid
- Hugo Lloris – France, 2018 – Los Angeles FC
- Kylian Mbappé – France, 2018 – Real Madrid
- Benjamin Pavard – France, 2018 – Inter Milan
Argentina (2022 FIFA World Cup)
Half of the FIFA World Cup-winning players at the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup hail from the tournament's most recent victors - the all-conquering Argentina side from Qatar 2022.
With a defence set for North America next year, all eyes will be on Lionel Messi, theoretically enjoying a lucrative long farewell in MLS with Inter Miami after his clean sweep.
But a quartet of Atletico Madrid stars - Julian Alvarez, Angel Correa, Rodrigo De Paul and Nahuel Molina - also featured three years ago, as did Inter Milan's Lautaro Martinez.
Four of the squad meanwhile still play domestic football with River Plate, with Marcos Acuna, Franco Armani, Gonzalo Montiel and German Pezzella set to play too.
- Marcos Acuña – Argentina, 2022 – River Plate
- Julián Álvarez – Argentina, 2022 – Atletico Madrid
- Franco Armani – Argentina, 2022 – River Plate
- Ángel Correa – Argentina, 2022 – Atletico Madrid
- Rodrigo De Paul – Argentina, 2022 – Atletico Madrid

- Enzo Fernández – Argentina, 2022 – Chelsea
- Lautaro Martinez – Argentina, 2022 – Inter Milan
- Lionel Messi – Argentina, 2022 – Inter Miami

Which club has the most World Cup-winning players?
Atletico Madrid will be the most represented club among players who have won the World Cup at the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup, with six names set to be fielded by the team.
They include a quartet of Argentina stars - coached by ex-international Diego Simeone, of course - along with two members of France's victorious 2018 squad.
