FIFA has officially announced the twelve stadiums that will host matches for the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup.

Span Across United States

This tournament marks the first time 32 teams from five continents will participate, with events scheduled from June 15 to July 13, 2025, according to Ziare.

The prestigious final will take place at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey, which is also set to host the final of the 2026 FIFA World Cup.

The selected stadiums span across the United States and include notable venues such as Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta, Bank of America Stadium in Charlotte, TQL Stadium in Cincinnati, and Rose Bowl Stadium in Los Angeles.

Additional locations include Hard Rock Stadium in Miami, GEODIS Park in Nashville, Camping World Stadium in Orlando, Lincoln Financial Field in Philadelphia, Lumen Field in Seattle, and Audi Field in Washington D.C.

Can Invite An Additional Team

Prominent teams confirmed to compete include European giants like Real Madrid, Atletico Madrid, Manchester City, Bayern Munich, Paris Saint-Germain, Juventus, Inter Milan, and River Plate. The draw for the eight groups, each containing four teams, will occur in December.

The Seattle Sounders have secured their spot as the 2022 CONCACAF Champions League winners, representing the United States.

As the host nation, the U.S. can invite an additional team, with strong candidates including Inter Miami, led by Argentine star Lionel Messi, who won the 2023 Leagues Cup. Ultimately, FIFA will have the final say in granting this invitation.
