  • FIFA.com website sees 16 million unique visitors in June, more than in the previous five months of 2025

The global wave of excitement in the FIFA Club World Cup 2025™ has sparked a huge rise in users across FIFA’s social media and digital platforms as the most inclusive club competition ever heads into the quarter-final stage.

The FIFA.com website saw 16 million unique visitors in June – more than had visited the site in the first five months of 2025 – and the steep upward trend was mirrored across all FIFA platforms in the digital world.

FIFA’s official social media accounts accumulated almost six million new followers by the end of the Round of 16. The new WhatsApp channel dedicated to the tournament gained over one million followers in the same period and now totals 4.4 million followers despite only being launched this year. There were one million downloads of FIFA apps during June, mostly of the official FIFA Club World Cup™ app.

The innovative and engaging content across all platforms generated a massive 2.7 billion impressions. The most popular so far has been a highlight reel of Inter Miami’s iconic midfielder Sergio Busquets, which gained 90 million video views and more than six million engagements across TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.

While “FIFA Club World Cup” Internet searches have grown by more than 10 times since the opening game on 14 June and it is currently the most-used sports competition-related term, according to Google Trends, the worldwide focus of the tournament has also been boosted by the wall-to-wall coverage provided by FIFA’s groundbreaking deal with DAZN, which is streaming all 63 matches for free.
