The 2025 Club World Cup venues are officially set.

FIFA announced the 12 venues that will host the annual competition, which will run from June 15 to July 13. MetLife Stadium in New Jersey will host the tournament final while 11 additional stadiums will host matches throughout the competition.

Mercedes-Benz Stadium (Atlanta), Bank of America Stadium (Charlotte, North Carolina), TQL Stadium (Cincinnati), Rose Bowl Stadium (Los Angeles), Hard Rock Stadium (Miami), GEODIS Park (Nashville, Tennessee), Camping World Stadium (Orlando, Florida), Inter&Co Stadium (Orlando), Lincoln Financial Field (Philadelphia), Lumen Field (Seattle) and Audi Field (Washington, D.C.) were also selected to host matches.

The draw is set to take place this December as the tournament moves to a new 32-team format.

“Football is the most popular sport on the planet, and in 2025 a new era for club football will kick off when FIFA stages the greatest, most inclusive and merit-based global club competition right here in the United States,” said FIFA President Gianni Infantino. “The FIFA Club World Cup 2025 will feature 12 fantastic stadiums where a new chapter in football’s global history will be written by great players from the 32 best clubs in the world.”

“This new FIFA competition is the only true example in worldwide club football of real solidarity and inclusivity, allowing the best clubs from Africa, Asia, Central and North America and Oceania to play the powerhouses of Europe and South America in an incredible new World Cup which will impact enormously the growth of club football and talent globally,” he added.

European giants Real Madrid, Manchester City, Bayern Munich, and Paris Saint-Germain are among the 31 teams qualified for the tournament. The Seattle Sounders are the lone MLS team set for tournament involvement, while three Liga MX clubs will also take part.

Man City are the reigning champions after defeating Fluminense in the 2023 edition in Saudi Arabia.
