Among the clubs which will compete at the FIFA’s Club World Cup is Borussia Dortmund. The Millionaires are a regular Champions League member for the last nine years and last season, they even went into the finals, while in 2025, they ran into Barcelona in the quarterfinals and lost. Due to their success both in Europe and Germany, they will participate in the revamped FIFA competition and are due to play their first game on Tuesday 17th of June against Brazilian Fluminense. It sounds strange, but Borussia is currently the best team out of all 32 clubs! Simply put, they have six consecutive wins, most of all participants and are thriving under coach Niko Kovač. But former Bayern boss wants to continue with this winning streak so he is preparing his players in the most serious way.📝 Unser Aufgebot für den Club World Cup 🇺🇸 @FIFACWC | #TakeItToTheWorld pic.twitter.com/5PE2K5FPiB— Borussia Dortmund (@BVB) June 10, 2025 Kovač said some time ago that if he didn’t become a coach that he would be a fitness trainer. The Croat puts a lot of focus on physical preparations and now he has to count in the time difference too. BVB are based in Fort Lauderdale, Florida which is Easter Time and the difference between Dortmund and their base is six hours. They won’t have time to deal with the jet leg, so they need to prepare their bodies (and minds) for the USA while they are still in Germany.Job(e) in Dortmund – Bellingham finally at BorussiaDortmund usually trains in the morning. However, in recent days, the sessions have been postponed to the afternoon, shifting them back an hour each day.”We’re trying to go to bed later, have breakfast and lunch later, so we can get into the rhythm faster and minimize the adjustment period. You have to adapt to the prevailing conditions there. We’re trying to make as many things possible as necessary with our medical team and staff. The preferred bedtime is first at midnight, then at 1 a.m., then at 2 a.m., and finally at 3 a.m.” Kovač explained. We will soon find out if this regime worked. Borussia players are in the airplane and off to the USA and the flight will last for nine hours.FIFA CLUB WORLD CUP 2025Sunday03:00: (3.40) Al Ahly Cairo (3.70) Inter Miami (2.05)19:00: (1.01) Bayern (17.0) Auckland (60.0)22:00: (1.90) PSG (3.85) Atletico Madrid (4.10)Monday00:55: (2.65) Palmeiras (3.30) Porto (2.70)05:00: (1.95) Botafogo (3.45) Seattle (4.00)***odds are subject to change***
