FIFA has named the 12 stadiums that will host next year's revamped Club World Cup in the USA.

The tournament, which will take place from June 15 to July 13, 2025, is the first staging of an expanded competition with 32 teams.

The games will be played across the United States, with the final taking place at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey, five miles from New York City.

The other venues are:

Chelsea, Manchester City and Real Madrid have all automatically qualified from Europe as the latest Champions League winners in the last four-year cycle.

Bayern Munich, Paris St-Germain, Inter Milan, Porto and Benfica will also be there thanks to their coefficient rankings.

Six South American clubs and 12 teams from Asia, Africa and North America will make up the remainder of the tournament, while one spot will be awarded to a club from Oceania and another to the United States as host country.

The Club World Cup was previously an annual mid-season tournament involving six teams from seven global confederations.

“A new era for club soccer begins in 2025 when FIFA hosts the largest, most comprehensive and competitive global club competition here in the United States,” said FIFA President Gianni Infantino.

Fifa's decision to expand the competition has drawn criticism from clubs and players, particularly after UEFA added two more games to the group stages of the Champions League and Europa League.

Global players' union Fifpro and the European Leagues organization, which represents 39 leagues and 1,130 clubs in 33 countries, filed a joint complaint with the European Commission in July to protest against FIFA's “abuse of dominance” in football.

Two months earlier, Fifa rejected a claim that Fifpro and the world league governing body had not been consulted on plans to expand the Club World Cup.

Manchester City midfielder Rodri, who will miss the rest of the season with a torn anterior cruciate ligament, warned earlier this month that players were on the verge of a strike due to the busy schedule.
