History at the Club World Cup The Liga MX side will be making their fifth appearance at the competition, having also participated in 2007, 2008, 2010 and 2017. Their best showing came last time around as they claimed third place behind finalists Grêmio, whom they lost to in the semi-final, and winners Real Madrid. Al Jazira were easily seen off 4-1 in the third-place play-off as Pachuca made their mark on the world stage. How did they perform in the 2024/25 season? It's been a disappointing campaign for Pachuca, with elimination from the quarter finals of the Liga MX Clausura knockout stages. Advertisement They fell to Club América 2-0 on aggregate, which was not too surprising given they scraped into the playoffs via the play-in phase having finished 8th in the Apertura league phase.

The Venezuelan national team captain has 31 goals in 59 appearances for the club. Advertisement Other standout performers for the Liga MX side are Moroccan winger Oussama Idrissi, who leads the sides in assists this season, and Brazilian striker Kennedy, who has become a valuable source of goals. Expected performance at the Club World Cup Despite their wayward domestic form, the Mexicans will fancy their chances of making a run in the tournament. Real Madrid are the overwhelming favourites to top Group H, and second place will be fought out between Pachuca, Al Hilal and RB Salzburg. 📸 Leopoldo Smith - 2025 Getty Images
