FIFA has announced that Atlanta is among the 11 cities chosen to host the 2025 Club World Cup Tournament in the United States next summer. The tournament will take place from June 15 to July 13, 2025, featuring the best 32 clubs from around the world. This event will include teams from each of the six international confederations: AFC, CAF, Concacaf, CONMEBOL, OFC, and UEFA.

Details about the matches to be played at Mercedes-Benz Stadium (MBS), including teams and dates, will be released shortly after the draw in December.

"Mercedes-Benz Stadium has quickly become known for hosting the biggest soccer matches in the U.S., and we are excited to add the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup to the roster," said Doug Roberts, vice-president stadium events and premium sales. "We are proud to have the opportunity bring global audiences to Mercedes-Benz Stadium in such a meaningful way ahead of the 2026 FIFA World Cup."

The FIFA Club World Cup adds to a series of major events hosted by Georgia. Mercedes Benz Stadium is also set to host the College Football Playoff National Championship Game in January, FIFA Club World Cup in summer 2025, FIFA World Cup in 2026, and NCAA Final Four in 2031.

“Being named a host city for FIFA’s Club World Cup in 2025 is yet another great accomplishment for our city,” said Dan Corso, President of Atlanta Sports Council and Atlanta World Cup Host Committee. “Our region continues to build its reputation as a global destination for international soccer events and this will be a great way to celebrate being one-year out from hosting the FIFA World Cup 2026.”
