Sun Sep 29 22:34:59 UTC 2024: ## FIFA Announces 12 US Stadiums to Host 2025 Club World Cup

**[CITY, STATE] –** FIFA has confirmed the 12 US stadiums set to host the revamped 2025 Club World Cup, despite concerns about the tournament’s feasibility. The competition, featuring 32 teams from FIFA’s six confederations, will take place from June 15th to July 13th, 2025.

The final will be held at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey, which has hosted numerous high-profile events in recent years, including a preseason El Clasico and Argentina’s Copa America semi-final match.

The tournament will spread across the country, with the majority of matches taking place in the western United States to avoid scheduling conflicts with the 2025 Gold Cup, which will be played primarily in the east.

Notable venues on the list include:

* **Lumen Field (Seattle):** Home to the Seattle Sounders, who became the first MLS club to compete in the Club World Cup in 2013.
* **Orlando:** Both Camping World Stadium and Inter&Co Stadium will host games.
* **Mercedes-Benz Stadium (Atlanta):** The venue for the 2024 Copa America opening match.
* **Hard Rock Stadium (Miami):** The venue for the 2024 Copa America final.
* **Audi Field (Washington, D.C.):** A soccer-specific stadium in the nation’s capital.
* **Lincoln Financial Field (Philadelphia):** Opened with a friendly between Manchester United and Barcelona in 2013.
* **Rose Bowl Stadium (Los Angeles):** Venue for the 1994 World Cup final.
* **Bank of America Stadium (Charlotte):** Home to Charlotte FC.
* **Geodis Park (Nashville):** Home to Nashville SC.
* **TQL Stadium (Cincinnati):** Home to FC Cincinnati.

Two additional venues are yet to be announced, including an MLS team that will represent the host nation. The final list will be determined after the Copa Libertadores final at the end of November.

The group stage draw will take place in December.
