LAFC, Club América are anticipating their ‘massive’ play-in match to join Club World Cup field
May 30, 2025
The stakes are extraordinary when Los Angeles FC hosts Club América this weekend. The winner of this one-game play-in match gets the final spot in the FIFA Club World Cup and the remarkable chance for a North American team to face world soccer powers in the biggest-ever edition of this summer competition. What’s more, the winning team at BMO Stadium will be guaranteed at least $9.55 million for its Club World Cup berth, along with a shot at nearly $100 million from the tournament’s biggest-ever prize pool of nearly $1 billion. LAFC’s sold-out arena will be packed with raucous supporters of both teams.
