FIFA has announced the US cities that will host next summer’s Club World Cup, which will feature 32 teams for the first time.
FIFA has announced the 12 host stadiums for the 2025 Club World Cup in the United States - the first edition of the global club tournament’s expanded, 32-team format.
Which cities have been chosen for the 2025 CWC?
The competition is to be held in Atlanta, Charlotte, Cincinnati, Los Angeles, Miami, Nashville, Orlando (two stadiums), New York-New Jersey, Philadelphia, Seattle and Washington, DC. World soccer’s governing body had initially planned to use fewer venues but finally opted to extend its list of host arenas after reaching agreements with a number of additional cities.
MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey, has been chosen as the venue for the final - having also been selected to stage the trophy decider in the national-team World Cup in 2026.
The 2025 Club World Cup is to begin on Sunday June 15, with the final scheduled for Sunday July 13.
Full list of 2025 Club World Cup stadiums/cities:
Mercedes-Benz Stadium - Atlanta, Georgia
TQL Stadium - Cincinnati, Ohio
Hard Rock Stadium - Miami, Florida
Geodis Park - Nashville, Tennessee
MetLife Stadium - New York-New Jersey
Bank of America Stadium - Charlotte, North Carolina
Camping World Stadium - Orlando, Florida
Inter&Co Stadium - Orlando, Florida
Rose Bowl Stadium - Los Angeles, California
Lincoln Financial Field - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania
Lumen Field - Seattle, Washington
Audi Field, Washington, D.C.
FIFA favours East over West
Most of the Club World Cup host cities - eight out of 12 - are on the east coast. This, in no small part, is a scheduling decision: games played in the Eastern Time zone are significantly more convenient for Europe-based television viewers than those held on the West Coast. FIFA is mindful that this is a key consideration when it comes to selling the TV rights on the Old Continent.
Which teams have qualified for the 2025 Club World Cup?
So far, 30 of the 32 spots at the Club World Cup have been filled. The two remaining berths will go to the winner of the current Copa Libertadores, and to a host team from Major League Soccer.

All continents are Equal, but some are More Equal than others. I find it difficult to understand why Europe has so many clubs than any continent in this competition. The criteria used…

I seriously need a Magnifying Glass to check arsenal's name on the list without success since morning. If we tell some people that Chelsea & Arsenal are NOT in the same class they tend to argue unnecessary. SHOE GETS SIZE.
Chelsea is bigger than Liverpool and Manchester United that’s why Chelsea was called and the other 2teams were ignored…

African clubs don't have money, have few viewers and only few Africans subscribe hence, more rich European clubs.
Speak nonsense. Africa is the rout of the world you bitch
