However, there are two groups that stand out for their level of competitiveness and have been quickly dubbed the "groups of death".

Group B: A duel of European and South American titans

Group B consists of four top-level teams: PSG, Atlético de Madrid, Botafogo and Seattle Sounders. The European giants, PSG and Atlético de Madrid, arrive at the tournament with the intention of demonstrating their superiority at the global level. PSG, with its economic power and squad full of stars, will be one of the favourites to take the title. Atlético de Madrid, always combative and with an intense playing style, will look to pull off a surprise.

The Brazilian team, which has shown a high level in recent years, will seek to take advantage of their good moment to compete on equal terms with the European teams. Seattle Sounders, the CONCACAF representative, will look to take advantage of their home advantage to pick up important points and advance to the next round.

Group C: A South American classic and a European giant

Group C is another group that promises great emotions. Boca Juniors, Bayern Munich, Auckland City and Benfica will face each other in a battle for the top spots. Boca Juniors, one of the most popular teams in South America, arrives at the tournament with the hope of conquering the world. Bayern Munich, champions of Germany on multiple occasions and one of the most successful teams in Europe, arrive at the tournament with the intention of adding more titles to their trophy cabinet.
