United States will host expanded FIFA Club World Cup in 2025

The United States will host the expanded Club World Cup in 2025, according to a significant announcement from FIFA. The 32-club tournament’s location in the United States was confirmed by the international governing body of football on Friday.

In December 2022, FIFA announced its intention to increase the number of participating teams in the men’s Club World Cup from seven to 32. The tournament would switch from being an annual event to a quadrennial competition, according to FIFA President Gianni Infantino at the time.

Infantino praised the US’s “infrastructure” and “massive local interest” during the announcement of the US as the selected host, highlighting these as important factors in choosing the CONCACAF giants.

The United States is the ideal host to launch this new, global tournament, according to Infantino, because it has the necessary infrastructure in place and there is a significant local interest. The FIFA Club World Cup 2025 will be the pinnacle of elite professional men’s club football. He also expressed excitement over the participation of top clubs from around the world and the fervour that fans from all over the world would bring to the United States for this crucial turning point in FIFA’s effort to globalise football.

In a previous announcement, it was stated that Africa would receive four slots and that Europe would receive the highest share, twelve, for the tournament in 2025. Before the 32-team competition is introduced, Saudi Arabia will host the final edition of the seven-team Club World Cup from December 12 to 22.

The reigning champions this year are Real Madrid, a Spanish powerhouse team that will try to retain its title in this year’s competition.

The Club World Cup 2025, which the United States is getting ready to host as an unprecedented event that will highlight the best of professional men’s club football on a global scale, is eagerly anticipated by both football fans and clubs.
