FIFA have announced the 12 stadiums across the United States that will host matches for the revamped FIFA Club World Cup in 2025. The tournament, featuring 32 of the world’s top clubs, will run from June 15 to July 13, 2025.
The MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey, has been selected to host the final on July 13. This 82,500-capacity venue will also stage the FIFA World Cup 2026 final a year later.
FIFA President Gianni Infantino revealed the lineup of host cities at the Global Citizen Festival in New York’s Central Park. He emphasized that this new format represents “the greatest, most inclusive and merit-based global club competition.”
The selected venues span the country, with a notable concentration on the East Coast. They include:
– MetLife Stadium (New Jersey)
– Mercedes-Benz Stadium (Atlanta)
– Bank of America Stadium (Charlotte)
– TQL Stadium (Cincinnati)
– Rose Bowl Stadium (Los Angeles)
– Hard Rock Stadium (Miami)
– GEODIS Park (Nashville)
– Camping World Stadium and Inter&Co Stadium (Orlando)
– Lincoln Financial Field (Philadelphia)
– Lumen Field (Seattle)
– Audi Field (Washington, D.C.)
This expanded tournament marks a significant shift from the previous annual seven-team format. The 32 participating clubs will be divided into eight groups of four, with the top two from each group advancing to the knockout stages.
While 30 of the 32 teams have already been determined based on continental championships and rankings, the final two spots will be filled by a representative from the host nation and the 2024 CONMEBOL Libertadores winner.
