In the Intercontinental Cup Final, European titleholders Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) will challenge Copa Libertadores champions CR Flamengo at the 40,000-seater Ahmad Bin Ali Stadium.

PSG arrives in Qatar featuring a star-studded roster that includes Ballon d’Or recipient Ousmane Dembélé and Moroccan sensation Achraf Hakimi. Fans from Qatar and across the globe are anticipated to witness this French powerhouse compete for the prestigious title in 2025.

Meanwhile, CR Flamengo has enjoyed a fruitful week, triumphing in the FIFA Derby of the Americas Qatar 2025™ against Mexico's Cruz Azul and the FIFA Challenger Cup Qatar 2025™ against Egypt's Pyramids FC. The team is now focused on achieving the ultimate title of continental champion.

The Ahmad Bin Ali Stadium, which will host today’s grand final, has previously accommodated both the FIFA Derby of the Americas and FIFA Challenger Cup matches. The venue is prepared to welcome thousands of fans eager to witness these historic finals.

Qatar's success in orchestrating these tournaments underscores its emerging status as a prominent hub for international football events. The nation continues to impress with its world-class venues, logistics, and capacity for effectively managing concurrent tournaments.

This landmark week in Qatar unites football enthusiasts, providing thrilling matches, celebrated players, and an opportunity to see PSG and Flamengo vie for global acclaim in a major FIFA event.
