The 2025 FIFA Club World Cup kicks off in less than a month, but before the first group stage matches begin, there’s one spot left to be filled. Today, May 31, LAFC (from USA’s Major League Soccer) and Club América (from Mexico’s Liga MX) will face off in a play-in match with the winner advancing into the final Club World Cup slot. The play-in game is a new addition to the Club World Cup. Mexican team Club León was expelled from the tournament in March for being under the same ownership group as nother Club World Cup qualifier, Pachuca. LAFC had lost to León in the 2023 Concacaf Champions Cup final, so, as that competition’s runner-up, LAFC was given another opportunity to qualify. Club América qualified as the top-ranked Concacaf club not already in the tournament, per the FIFA Club World Cup confederation ratings. The Club World Cup, which begins on June 14, is a tournament between 32 of the best soccer clubs in the world. Among the qualified teams are Inter Miami FC and the Seattle Sounders, both representing MLS and the United States after winning the MLS Supporters Shield in 2024 and the 2022 CONCACAF Champions League, respectively.
