ORLANDO, FL. – The Fédération Internationale de Football Association (FIFA) has announced match details for the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup, with two matches in the Group Stage set to played at Inter&Co Stadium, home of Orlando City SC and the Orlando Pride.
Inter&Co Stadium will first host the Group F match between South Korea’s Ulsan HD and South Africa’s Mamelodi Sundowns FC on Tuesday, June 17, before hosting the Group C matchup between Portugal’s S.L. Benfica and New Zealand’s Auckland City FC on Friday, June 20. The match between Ulsan and Mamelodi is set to kick off at 6 p.m. ET, while Benfica and Auckland will kick off at 12 p.m. ET.
Recently named the nation’s No. 1 city for hosting events by Sports Business Journal, the City Beautiful continues to thrive as a host for premier competition, including flagship soccer events on both the club and federation levels. Notably, Orlando will be the only 2025 FIFA Club World Cup host city with tournament matches in multiple venues, with Camping World Stadium set to host matches as well.
Earlier this year, Inter&Co Stadium, the home of Major League Soccer’s Orlando City SC and the National Women’s Soccer League’s Orlando Pride, served as a host venue for Copa America 2024, while Orlando City hosted Brazilian side Flamengo earlier this year in partnership with Florida Cup.
The competition will be the largest stand-alone global club football event ever staged in the United States and globally, with the best 32 clubs from all over the world participating. The tournament kicks off on Sunday, June 15, 2025, with all roads leading to MetLife Stadium on Sunday, July 13, 2025, where the FIFA Club World Cup 2025™ will be played, just over a year before the venue stages the FIFA World Cup 26™ final.
