Kickoff for the semifinal between PSG and Real Madrid at the FIFA Club World Cup 2025 was delayed by 10 minutes. According to Spanish show El Partidazo de Cope, the game started later than expected due to a traffic accident near the MetLife Stadium.
The game was originally scheduled to start at 3:00 PM (ET), but fans may have noticed that both Paris Saint-Germain and Real Madrid players were still doing warmup drills at that time.
The start time for this Club World Cup semifinal only suffered a 10-minute delay, keeping fans waiting to see these sides battle it out for a place in the final. Fortunately, it didn’t take that long for the game to get underway.
