2025 FIFA Club World Cup Schedule of Base Camps Announced

FIFA has announced the 34 team base camp sites that the 32 qualified clubs will be staying at throughout the group stage of the Club World Cup that starts later this month.

The 32 participating clubs hailing from 20 different nations have selected sites in 14 states across the country. Florida (9), California (5), New Jersey (4), North Carolina (3), Virginia (2), Tennessee (2) and Washington (2) are home to training sites that have been selected by multiple clubs.

“We’re pleased to confirm the Team Base Camp Training Sites that will host qualified clubs throughout the group stage of the first-ever FIFA Club World Cup,” said FIFA Secretary General Mattias Grafström. “These sites and more significantly the people and communities that surround them will welcome the world’s best, providing first-class environments and hospitality in support of the teams.”

Locations in Georgia, Maryland, Michigan, Oregon, Pennsylvania, South Carolina and West Virginia will also host teams. The Major League Soccer training centers of Charlotte FC, DC United, Inter Miami, Nashville, Philadelphia Union and Seattle Sounders will be utilized throughout the tournament.

“The clubs, their players, coaches, management, staff and fans will build incredible connections with the local people that support them throughout the tournament,” Grafström said. “This is a consistently important part of any World Cup.”

The 2025 Club World Cup will kick off on June 14 with Lionel Messi’s Inter Miami opening the monthlong tournament, and ending with a week of games at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey.

The first edition of the expanded FIFA Club World Cup in the United States will be staged from June 15 to July 13 with 32 teams from around the world competing the year before the FIFA Men’s World Cup comes to North America. The tournament will have a group stage of eight groups with four teams per group, the top two progressing to the Round of 16 with a single-match knockout stage throughout the elimination rounds until the final.

MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey, site of the 2026 World Cup final, was already announced as hosting the final on Sunday, July 13. The venue also will stage the two semifinals on July 8-9 and the fourth quarterfinal on July 5.

The two West Coast locations — Pasadena, California, and Seattle — stage only group-stage games with all round of 16 games being played in Atlanta, Charlotte, Miami, Orlando and Philadelphia. Quarterfinals also are in Atlanta, Orlando and Philadelphia.

Twelve stadiums will be used for the expanded 32-team tournament including five of the 11 U.S. venues for the 2026 World Cup: Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta; MetLife Stadium; Hard Rock Stadium in Miami Gardens, Florida; Lincoln Financial Field in Philadelphia and Lumen Field in Seattle.

Other sites include the Rose Bowl in Pasadena, site of the 1994 World Cup final, and Camping World Stadium in Orlando, another 1994 World Cup site. The additional NFL home is Bank of America Stadium in Charlotte, which doubles as the home for MLS’ Charlotte FC.

The MLS venues are TQL Stadium in Cincinnati; Geodis Park in Nashville; Inter&Co Stadium in Orlando and Audi Field in Washington.

Miami, East Rutherford and Philadelphia each host the most matches with eight apiece. Atlanta, Los Angeles, Orlando and Seattle host six matches each; Charlotte and Cincinnati host four matches each and Nashville and Washington host the fewest number of matches with three apiece.

FIFA President Gianni Infantino earlier this year announced the organization will make a legacy contribution of $1 million to each of the 11 cities that will host matches. FIFA will make the funds available to help build small community-focused pitches and to support other social projects. It also announced that Qatar Airways is the official airline partner of the tournament on Wednesday. In addition to its partnership with FIFA, Qatar Airways sponsors participating clubs Paris Saint-Germain and Inter Milan.
