FIFA Club World Cup will see 32 teams competing across the United States in a tournament that’s the first of its kind. With some of the best teams from every confederation competing in a new format for the revamped Club World Cup trophy.

The format for the 2025 Club World Cup follows the same format to a 32-team international World Cup. 32 teams will be drawn into eight groups of four teams in each. The top two teams from each group will make it through the last 16, while the bottom two teams in each group will be eliminated.

In the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup, this 74,867-seat stadium will host two group stage games and two matches from the round of 16. "The Benz" is the only Club World Cup venue with a retractable roof and, with its 360-degree video screen, is the most technologically-advanced stadium of the 12 buildings in this year's tournament.

Co-hosts the United States, Canada and Mexico are already in, but the list is growing for the 2026 World Cup field.

Seven years ago, when a joint bid by the United States, Canada and Mexico was awarded the 2026 World Cup, rifts created by tariffs — yes, back then, too! — and a proposed border wall were glossed over because of the neighbors’ longstanding political and economic alliances.
