What You Need To Know

The Club World Cup is the soccer world governing body FIFA’s big play to get a stronghold in the club game. Until now, club soccer’s marquee events have been regional competitions, such as the prestigious Champions League, which is organized by European soccer body UEFA.

FIFA seeks to make the event to club soccer what the World Cup is to international soccer and establish itself as one of the biggest and wealthiest tournaments in sport. It will be played every four years.

Orlando is one of 12 cities in the United States to host matches. Games will be played at Inter&Co Stadium, home to the Orlando City Lions of Major League Soccer and the Orlando Pride of the National Women’s Soccer League, and Camping World Stadium, which has hosted many international soccer events in the past. The other host cities are Atlanta, Cincinnati, Charlotte, Los Angeles, Miami, Nashville, New York/New Jersey, Philadelphia, Seattle and Washington, D.C.

The Club World Cup has been expanded from seven teams to 32 and will emulate the men’s and women’s World Cups. Eight groups of four teams will play in a round-robin mini-league, with the top two advancing to a knockout stage, which runs from the round of 16 through to the final on July 13 at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey. The total prize fund for the event is $1 billion, and the winner of the Club World Cup could earn $125 million.
