They might not have as much name recognition as Boca Juniors, but CR Flamingo is one of Brazil’s most successful soccer clubs. The club has won seven Brasileirão titles are three-times winners of the Copa Libertadores and four-times winners of the Copa do Brasil. Their best performance in the FIFA Club World Cup was in 2019, when they were runners-up.
This first stage, Group D match will pitch them against a yet-to-be-decided opponent. That’s because the original Group D contender Club León was ruled ineligible to compete in the tournament due to multi-club ownership violations. As a result, their spot will be filled by the winner of the playoff between LAFC and Club América which is scheduled to be held on May 31, 2025.
Whoever wins, this will be an exciting match and no doubt there will be some virtuoso soccer skills on display.

Juve is one of Italy’s most successful and historic football clubs. Based in Turin, Juventus competes in Serie A, the top tier of Italian football. It has won the league a record 36 times, as well as being two-times UEFA Champions League winners and three-times UEFA Cup winners.
Ten-times British Premier League champions (most recently in 2024) as well as UEFA Champions League winners in 2023 and FIFA Club World Cup winners in 2023, Manchester City’s recent successes make it an attractive proposition in this tournament. Manchester City is known for its possession-based attacking playing style which will be great to watch, especially up against Juve’s strong defence and attacking fluidity.
This match promises to be one of most exciting soccer games of the tournament. If you can get the Friday off work, we recommend booking a few nights in one of our Orlando vacation homes and enjoying an extended trip. Watching this match would be a superb way to kick off a long weekend in Orlando.
