RB Salzburg FIFA Club World Cup 2025 squad: Maurits Kjaergaard & Stefan Lainer included

The Austrian club are in a tough group of the Club World Cup.

Thomas Letsch and his staff of coaches will have 28 RB Salzburg players travelling to the FIFA Club World Cup when they depart for the USA this Friday, June 13.

There are going to be 24 outfield players and four goalkeepers in all, including new players, players back from loan, and other returning favourites. The good news is that, in spite of his wrist injury, Alex Schlager is also part of the RB Salzburg team. It’s unclear if he will be healthy enough to participate.

RB Salzburg proudly wears the underdog moniker as they enter this international competition, despite having a wealth of excellent players. However, they appear to have been given a good hand with a somewhat controllable squad, which has fueled the hopes of a surprise run that might blow the football world away.

RB Salzburg, who are viewed as the dark horse coming from Europe, are preparing to travel across the Atlantic to compete for one of the biggest honours in club football.

Fans and followers around the world are giddy with anticipation and enthusiasm as they embark on a significant chapter in their history.

Salzburg have a fantastic chance to demonstrate their abilities against top teams selected from all over the world in the Club World Cup. They continue to dominate the Austrian league at home, which is evidence of their superiority there.

RB Salzburg, one of UEFA’s twelve representatives at the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup, are thrilled to be ranked ninth overall among European clubs in the most recent four-year UEFA standings.

However, they will face a daunting task in reaching the knockout stage as Group H consists of top teams such as Real Madrid, Al-Hilal and Pachuca that will pose a significant threat to their hopes of going further in the tournament.
