The favorite to win the Club World Championship
Italian club Sir Sicoma Monini Perugia are considered the favourites to win this year's tournament. Perugia have won the Club World Championship previously, in 2022 and 2023 , and have a very strong squad.
Why are Perugia favourites? The team combines top-level performances Simone Giannelli (set-up and captain), Polish international Kamil Semeniuk , and Japanese star Yuki Ishikawa , the team has both breadth and offensive capacity. This combination makes Perugia one of the most complete and dangerous clubs in this year's tournament.
The question is, are there any of the other semi-final teams that can challenge Perugia?
