Manchester City, coached by Pep Guardiola, will take on Al Hilal, now led by Simone Inzaghi, on Monday, June 30, 2025, in a must-watch Club World Cup Round of 16 match. The showdown will take place at the Camping World Stadium in Orlando, Florida, a venue that will see these two high-profile managers meet again after their 2023 UEFA Champions League Final clash — won by City.

Kickoff is set for 9:00 p.m. ET (Eastern Time USA). The referee for the match will be Jesús Valenzuela from Venezuela, who’s expected to handle a high-tempo and intense matchup from the first whistle.

Match preview: Two elite teams with clear identities

Man City cruised through the group stage, grabbing three straight wins while scoring 13 goals and only conceding 3. Their last match was a dominant 5-2 win over Juventus, with stars like Erling Haaland, Phil Foden, Ilkay Gündogan, Jérémy Doku, Savinho, and Rayan Cherki leading the charge.

Al Hilal, on the other hand, have shown solid progress under Inzaghi, who took over after his stint with Inter Milan. The Saudi side boasts a star-studded squad including Kalidou Koulibaly, Rúben Neves, Sergej Milinkovic-Savic, and Aleksandar Mitrovic. They secured their Round of 16 spot with a key win over Pachuca, after battling past RB Salzburg.

What the managers said 

“It’s always a pleasure to face Pep. Games like this help us grow — we know we’re up against the best,” said Inzaghi in the pre-match presser. Meanwhile, Guardiola emphasized the need to stay sharp and keep the momentum from the group stage going. The winner of this tie will face either Inter Milan or Monterrey in the quarterfinals.
