The tournament will take place between the 15th of June and the 13th of July 2025. The games will be played across 12 Stadium throughout 11 host cities in the United States. The final will be played at the iconic MetLife Stadium in New York New Jersey. This stadium will also host the final of the FIFA World Cup on the 19th of July 2026.
As per FIFA website, the four pots were allocated teams as follows:
Pot 1 consists of the four highest-ranked teams from Europe together with the four highest-ranked teams from South America, while pot 2 consists of the remaining eight teams from Europe. Pot 3 consists of the two highest-ranked teams respectively from Asia, Africa, and the North, Central America and Caribbean region, alongside South America’s two remaining clubs, while pot 4 consists of the two remaining teams respectively from Asia, Africa, and the North, Central America and Caribbean region, alongside Oceania’s representative and the team representing the host country – Inter Miami CF.
No group can feature more than one team from the same confederation. This applies to all confederations except UEFA (Europe), which will be represented by 12 clubs at the tournament. Therefore, four of the eight groups will feature two European clubs. Both the teams from the United States, Inter Miami CF and Seattle Sounders FC, were automatically drawn into group A and B. Inter Miami CF will play in the opening match of the tournament at Hard Rock Stadium, Miami, while the Sounders will open their campaign at Lumen Field, Seattle, soon afterwards. The groups were drawn as follows:
Group A
Group B
Group C
Group D
Group E
Group F
Group G
Group H
Have a great day.
Peace. CryptoGod-1.
