América vs. LAFC: 2025 Club World Cup match will be at BMO Stadium, Los Angeles.

Club América and Los Angeles FC will face off on Saturday, May 31, 2025, at BMO Stadium in Los Angeles , in a one-off match that will determine the final team to qualify for the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup .

This match comes after the disqualification of Club León by the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) due to timeshare disputes related to the Pachuca Group .

As a result, FIFA determined that América , being the best positioned in the Concacaf club ranking, and LAFC , runner-up of the 2023 Concacaf Champions Cup , will compete in this “Play-in” to occupy the vacant spot in Group D of the tournament.

In the event of a tie after 90 minutes of regulation, extra time will be played and, if necessary, a penalty shootout will determine the winner.

Tickets will be available from May 16 for season ticket holders and from May 17 for the general public on the FIFA website.

This match not only represents a significant sporting opportunity, but also a considerable economic incentive, with a 190 million peso bonus for the winner , in addition to additional prizes for performance in the tournament.

Both teams are coming into their own: LAFC , with stars like Hugo Lloris and Olivier Giroud , is looking to establish itself as one of the strongest teams in the MLS , while Club América , three-time Mexican soccer champion, is hoping to become four-time champion depending on its performance in the local playoffs.

This matchup promises to be an exciting duel that will determine the final participant in the revamped 2025 Club World Cup .
