The world soccer ruling body has announced the United States as the host country for the expanded Club World Cup that will involve 32 teams.
The event is just a year before the 2026 World Cup is hosted by the United States, Canada and Mexico, which will also be a larger competition including 48 teams.
“The FIFA Club World Cup 2025 will be the pinnacle of elite professional men’s club football, and with the required infrastructure in place together with a massive local interest, the United States is the ideal host to kick off this new, global tournament,” said FIFA President Gianni Infantino.
The tournament will have 12 teams from Europe, six from South America, four each from Asia, Africa and Concacaf, one Oceanic side and one from the host nation.
