2025 Club World Cup Locations and Teams Announced

The 2025 FIFA Club World Cup, hosted in the United States, will feature 32 teams in a newly expanded format set to commence on June 15 and conclude with the final on July 13 at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey. Twelve American cities, including Miami, Philadelphia, and Seattle, will host matches, with Inter Miami participating as the host team, featuring Lionel Messi. European clubs dominate the lineup with 12 teams, while South America is represented by six clubs, and other confederations fill the remaining slots. The competition, initially delayed from a 2021 China debut due to Covid-19, has sparked discussions over its impact on an already congested football calendar. High-profile teams like Real Madrid, Manchester City, and Chelsea are among the participants, promising a highly competitive tournament.
