Chelsea FC is set to be the only participating team in the new enlarged 2025 FIFA Club World Cup to feature no front-of-shirt sponsor throughout the tournament. We can see this thanks to the infographics of Football Kit Archive.
Chelsea Has No Front-of-Shirt Sponsor
The London club, which qualified for the expanded 32-team competition through its UEFA coefficient ranking, will, as of today, don jerseys free of a front-of-shirt sponsor when the team takes to the field in the United States this summer.
Chelsea has been without a front-of-shirt sponsor since its pseudo deal with Infinte Athlete expired after the 2023-24 season. Chelsea signed a sleeve sponsor deal with Live Nation for the "remainder of the 2024-25 season." We expect the Live Nation logo to also feature in the 2025 Club World Cup.
All other 31 participating clubs, including Real Madrid, Manchester City, Bayern Munich, and Flamengo, will display their regular commercial partnerships on their kits throughout the competition.
The 2025 FIFA Club World Cup runs from June 15 to July 13 across various venues in the United States.

Schlotterbeck Deliberately Wears His Football Socks the Wrong Way Round
Borussia Dortmund and Germany defender Nico Schlotterbeck has a very specific habit regarding his matchday attire. The centre-back deliberately wears his football socks the wrong way round - the back is on the front, and the front is on the back.
In 2025, the Borussia Dortmund & Germany center back once told SPORT1 that this was one of his unique habits.
