The revamped Club World Cup is just over one month away as the best teams from across the planet prepare to collide in the United States.
A total of 32 teams will compete in the 2025 Club World Cup, but one final team has yet to be confirmed following the confirmation of Leon's expulsion. MLS team Los Angeles FC or Liga MX side Club America will face off for the right to take their place in the newly updated tournament.
