Confirmed Officials: ES Tunis vs Chelsea - 2025 Club World Cup | OneFootball

The officials have been confirmed for the Club World Cup clash between ES Tunis and Chelsea at Lincoln Financial Field in Philadelphia, United States.

Enzo Maresca's Chelsea side have their Club World Cup fate in their own hands heading into the final game of Group D.

Should Chelsea avoid defeat to Espérance Sportive de Tunis on Tuesday night in Philadelphia, they will progress into the last-16 and set up a tie against Benfica, who beat Bayern Munich earlier in the day.

"When you are manager you are always under pressure and we'll do our best," Maresca told reporters in his pre-match press conference.

Chelsea will require a result against the Tunisian side to quality for the last-16 after losing to Flamengo 3-1 in matchday two, having won their opener against LAFC last week.

The reward for winning the Club World Cup is worth up to £100m and Chelsea will be eyeing big prize money to back their summer transfer spend.

But Maresca insists the Todd Boehly-Clearlake Capital ownership have not put extra pressure on the Blues to deliver glory to boost the club's financial power.

The Chelsea boss said: "The owners just want the best for us, and for the players, game by game. They are not talking about the final reward in terms of money. They never put pressure on us to win this tournament because of the money."
