Overview

  • The play-in match is scheduled for May 31 at Los Angeles’ BMO Stadium to decide the 32-team FIFA Club World Cup’s last qualifier.
  • FIFA disqualified Club León over multi-club ownership rules, prompting this one-off fixture between the 2023 CONCACAF runner-up and Liga MX’s top-seeded team not already in the field.
  • Both sides are guaranteed a minimum $9.55 million participation fee, with group-stage wins and progression offering shares of the tournament’s record $1 billion prize pool.
  • The victorious club will join Group D opponents Chelsea, Flamengo and ES Tunis when the tournament kicks off June 14 across venues in the United States.
  • DAZN will stream the match for free online, and a sold-out BMO Stadium is set to host fans from both LAFC and Club América in a neutral-venue format.
