Where Will the 2025 Club World Cup Semifinals Be Played?
The biggest tournament in world club football has reached its final stretch. With legendary teams still in contention, the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup is gearing up for two semifinals that could define this historic edition. But many fans still have one major question: where will the decisive matches take place?
Four Giants, One Legendary Venue
The semifinals are scheduled for Tuesday, July 8 and Wednesday, July 9, both on U.S. soil. On the first day, Fluminense will take on Chelsea, while the following day features a clash of titans: Paris Saint-Germain vs Real Madrid.
Both matches will be held at the same stadium, a venue that has played a key role in the growth of soccer in the United States, and which will also host the final of the tournament just days later.
MetLife Stadium: The Chosen Stage
The venue for this phase of the tournament is none other than MetLife Stadium, located in East Rutherford, New Jersey. With a capacity of over 80,000, it is one of the most modern and iconic sports venues in the country. From hosting the Super Bowl, NFL games, and massive concerts, it now becomes the stage for one of the most important moments of the Club World Cup.
The choice of MetLife is no coincidence—its proximity to New York City, world-class infrastructure, and international relevance make it the perfect location for matches of this caliber. It’s also set to be a key venue for the upcoming 2026 FIFA World Cup.
