Wednesday marks the conclusion of the opening round of group stage matches, featuring several European football giants ready to showcase their prowess.

Manchester City, Real Madrid and Juventus will all take the field on Wednesday, as these three UEFA clubs face off against top-tier competition from the Middle East and North Africa regions.
Below is your complete guide to watching all of Wednesday's Club World Cup encounters.
Club World Cup Schedule: Wednesday, June 18
Manchester City experienced a disappointing 2024–25 campaign by their elevated expectations, prompting swift squad reconstruction efforts for both the upcoming 2025–26 season and this summer's competition.
Players such as Tijjani Reijnders, Rayan Cherki and Rayan Aït-Nouri are all expected to feature when the Citizens begin Wednesday's four-match program against Moroccan side Wydad AC in Philadelphia.
City fans are eager to witness several exciting new acquisitions in action across the United States, while Real Madrid supporters are equally enthusiastic about welcoming a fresh era under Xabi Alonso's leadership. Madrid's roster also features some new additions, including Trent Alexander-Arnold and Dean Huijsen, though most attention centers on Alonso and how his tactical philosophy will be implemented.
Madrid begins their tournament journey facing Saudi Pro League winners Al Hilal, a team boasting recognizable talent and now guided by former Inter coach Simone Inzaghi.
Cincinnati offers a break from the powerhouses as Mexican side Pachuca—who fell to Madrid in last year's Intercontinental Cup final—meets the tournament's most modest UEFA participant: RB Salzburg. The Austrian club secured qualification through the ranking system after claiming ten consecutive domestic titles from 2014 to 2023.
While Juventus' legacy as a continental powerhouse remains undisputed, poor leadership decisions have hampered their field performance throughout the 2020s. The Turin club hasn't captured a league championship since 2020 and has lacked Champions League impact since their 2017 final defeat.
Still under Igor Tudor's guidance following Thiago Motta's earlier dismissal this year, they wrap up Wednesday's schedule against Al Ain in the capital city.
