Major League Soccer side LAFC and Liga MX giants Club America face off in the playoff match at BMO Stadium in Los Angeles, California. The stakes are sky high, as the winner will grab the last remaining spot at this year’s FIFA Club World Cup. Club America are preparing to face Toluca in their pursuit of a record-breaking fourth consecutive Liga MX title. Meanwhile, LAFC currently sit 5th in the Western Conference with 22 points from 14 matches.

The upcoming match will be the fourth time that LAFC and Club América face each other. So far, LAFC have won two of their three past meetings with America, which includes two official games and one friendly. Whoever comes out on top here will join Group D, where they’ll face CR Flamengo from Brazil, Esperance Sportive de Tunis from Tunisia, and English side Chelsea in the group stage of the FIFA Club World Cup.

Why is LAFC vs Club America FIFA Club World Cup Playoff Match Happening?

The upcoming playoff match between LAFC and Club America is taking place to determine Club Leon’s replacement the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup. Notably, Club Leon was disqualified from the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup after Leon was found to have broken multi-club ownership rules, which prevent teams with the same ownership from competing in the same tournament.

To decide who will take Leon’s place in the expanded Club World Cup, FIFA announced a one-off playoff between LAFC and Club America. The timing works well for Club America, as the game comes right after the end of the Liga MX Clausura 2025 season, giving them a clear schedule. Meanwhile, LAFC will fit this important match into a busy calendar.
