Written by Harry Dowsett
Last Update: June 12, 2025

The 2025 FIFA Club World Cup kicks off in earnest and promises to be one of the best tournaments of its kind. This time, a total of 32 teams have been drafted for the football showpiece. Noting that in the previous arrangement, only seven teams competed in the tournament, the 2025 Club World Cup is a huge leap into the future.

Additionally, a total of 12 stadiums will be used to host the tournament set to take place across 11 US cities. Manchester City and Chelsea are the only UK teams in the 2025 Club World Cup, which will, henceforth, take place every four years, unlike previously when it was an annual tournament.

A lot of excitement is already building up ahead of the first game, which will see Al Ahly of Egypt take on Inter Miami at Hard Rock Stadium. Matches in the group stages have been scheduled across several other 2025 Club World Cup stadiums, so let's dive deeper into the details.

Now we know what each of the 12 hosting stadiums of the competition is, it's time to run through each one in a little more detail than the list above.

MetLife Stadium

The first, and arguably most important of them all is the MetLife Stadium, located in New York. An excellent multi-purpose arena, the ground is currently the home of two separate NFL sides and the stadium will host the 2025 Club World Cup final, which takes place on 13 July 2025. It one of the biggest stadiums in the USA.

It is also worth noting that the venue will also host the final of the 2026 World Cup.

Mercedes-Benz Stadium

Another multi-purpose arena, the Mercedes-Benz Stadium is the home of MLS outfit Atlanta United. With a capacity of just over 40,000, which can be expanded to 71,000 in some cases, the venue will see a massive number of supporters come through its turnstiles during the tournament.

Like the MetLife Stadium, it will also host several matches at the 2026 World Cup. During the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup, Mercedes-Benz Stadium will host matches between Chelsea and LAFC or America. A total of six matches will be played at this venue, which includes five group-stage fixtures, one in the round of 16 and a quarter-final clash.

Bank of America Stadium

As is somewhat of a trend with many of these grounds, the Bank of America Stadium is a multi-purpose arena. The home of MLS side Charlotte FC, the ground also boasts a capacity that would dwarf many of even the biggest stadiums in the United Kingdom, with the ability to accommodate over 74,000 spectators.

A total of four matches will be played here, including two in the round of 16.

TQL Stadium

The first football-specific venue on this list, the TQL Stadium, is the home of FC Cincinnati and has a capacity of 26,000. Having opened as recently as 2021, the ground is incredibly modern and will make for an excellent host at the Club World Cup, providing a high-tech experience for fans.

The venue is set to host four games during the 2025 Club World Cup tournament, including a clash between Bayern vs Auckland City.

Rose Bowl Stadium

Originally a venue for athletics and still capable of hosting such events, the Rose Bowl Stadium is a multi-purpose arena previously home to the LA Galaxy. It is a truly massive stadium with a capacity of just over 89,000 and already has a pedigree for hosting important football matches, having been a venue at the 1994 World Cup.

Six group-stage games will be staged at Rose Bowl Stadium and which is the largest of the 2025 Club World Cup venues.

Hard Rock Stadium

Yet another multi-purpose arena, the Hard Rock Stadium is located in Florida and is the home of the NFL outfit Miami Dolphins. With a maximum capacity of around 74,000, the ground is similar in size to Old Trafford and has plenty of history of hosting high-status events, albeit with much of that coming in the form of Super Bowls.

In the upcoming 2025 FIFA Club World Cup, Hard Rock Stadium will host the tournament's opening fixture between Miami CF and Al Ahly FC on 14 June. In total, the 65,000-capacity venue will host eight matches, five of which will be group-stage fixtures.

GEODIS Park

A break from the theme of multi-purpose arenas, GEODIS Park is a football-specific ground with a capacity of around 30,000. It is currently the home of MLS side Nashville SC, and given it opened in 2022, is an incredibly modern and stylish home at that.

The 30,000-capacity venue will host three group-stage matches during the 2025 Club World Cup, one of which is Auckland City vs Boca Juniors.

Camping World Stadium

The Camping World Stadium is an outdoor venue. It has been utilised by various sporting organisations since its opening in 1936. The City of Orlando owns and operates it.

Despite opening some 88 years ago, the stadium still has a relatively modern feel, thanks to renovations that took place in 2021. The Camping World Stadium currently has a maximum capacity of 60,000.

Camping World Stadium is scheduled to host six matches in the upcoming 2025 Club World Cup, cutting across group-stage, round of 16 and quarter-finals fixtures.

Inter&Co Stadium

The Inter& Co Stadium is a football-specific arena with a capacity of 25,500 and is currently the home of MLS outfit Orlando City SC. Opened in 2017 for a construction cost believed to be around $155 million, the ground is a superb facility that will likely provide an excellent experience for all visiting supporters at the 2025 Club World Cup

The very will be used to host several group stage matches in the 2025 Club World Cup.

Lincoln Financial Field

Predominantly an American football stadium, Lincoln Financial Field was first opened in 2003. It hosted the 2003 FIFA Women's World Cup and has a capacity of just under 70,000. It will also host a handful of matches at the upcoming 2026 World Cup.

During the 2025 Club World Cup tournament, Lincoln Financial Field will be used to host six matches, five of which are group-stage fixtures, one in the round of 16 and a quarter-final clash.

Lumen Field

Lumen Field, also known as CenturyLink Field, is a multi-purpose arena home to an NFL outfit and MLS side Seattle Sounders.

The ground, which opened in 2002 and has a maximum capacity of around 68,000, is relatively modern and will also serve as a hosting venue for the 2026 World Cup.

Six Club World Cup matches will be staged at the Lumen Field between 14 June and  13 July.

Audi Field

Our list finishes with the Audi Field – a football-specific ground located in Washington, D.C.

It is the smallest venue on this list, with a capacity of just 20,000, but it has served as a fantastic home for DC United since 2018. It has also successfully hosted multiple men's and women's USA matches over the years. This venue will host three group-stage games during the Club World Cup that kicks off on 14 June 2025.

Why wasn't SoFi Stadium selected as a host for the 2025 Club World Cup?

While the SoFi Stadium, located in California, is an excellent facility and more than capable of hosting matches at this tournament, it is unfortunately already being used to host games at the 2025 CONCACAF Gold Cup, which takes place at a similar time.

Which stadium will host the final of the 2025 Club World Cup?

We can also confirm with absolute certainty that the competition's final will be held at MetLife Stadium in New York on 113 July. The stadium will also host semi-finals between 8 July and 9 July, including one of the quarter-final matches on 5 July.

It is a massive opportunity for the ground to cement its place in history, especially given that it will also host the final of the 2026 World Cup.
