FIFA Club WC: LAFC and Club América to clash on May 31 for final berth

INSUBCONTINENT EXCLUSIVE:
The last FIFA Club World Cup 2025 place will be decided at BMO Stadium when the Concacaf rivals meet in a play-in match. The final club to
qualify for the highly-anticipated FIFA Club World Cup 2025 will be determined on Saturday, 31 May, when US side Los Angeles FC and Mexican
powerhouse Club América go head-to-head in a high-stakes match at BMO Stadium in Los Angeles, California. Following the recent Court of
Arbitration for Sport decisions, FIFA decided that the final club to be admitted to the tournament will be determined by a play-in match
between Los Angeles FC (the runners-up to Club León in the 2023 Concacaf Champions League) and Club América (the top-ranked team in the
FIFA Club World Cup confederation ranking at the conclusion of the Concacaf Champions Cup staged in 2024, the final year of the qualifying
period for the FIFA Club World Cup 2025). In the event that the match is level after 90 minutes, two 15-minute periods of extra time, with
an interval of five minutes, will be contested
If the score is still level at the end of extra time, the winners will be determined by a penalty shoot-out. The winners of the play-in will
claim the final spot at this year’s global club showpiece and will take their place in Group D alongside Brazil’s CR Flamengo, Tunisian
outfit Espérance and English side Chelsea FC. The FIFA Club World Cup 2025 will bring together 32 elite teams from all six confederations,
with the action set to kick off at Miami’s Hard Rock Stadium on Saturday, 14 June. A total of 63 matches will take place across 11 Host
Cities – Atlanta, Charlotte, Cincinnati, Los Angeles, Miami, Nashville, New York New Jersey, Orlando, Philadelphia, Seattle and
Washington, D.C
– culminating in what promises to be a spectacular final at MetLife Stadium on Sunday, 13 July, when the FIFA club world champions will be
crowned. The final spot in the FIFA Club World Cup 2025 is still open because Club León was disqualified due to FIFA’s multi-club
ownership rules. This decision follows a ruling by the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS), which dismissed appeals from León and other
clubs attempting to challenge their exclusion. The post FIFA Club WC: LAFC and Club América to clash on May 31 for final berth first
