LAFC hosts American clubs May 31 and the opportunity to win shots on the day payment day of £ 125 million CWC

May 19 – In the potential for the richest match ever played by one of the teams, Major League Soccer’s (MLS) LAFC and MX League club América will face the Playoff Qualifiers of the Club World Cup Qualifiers on May 31 at BMO Stadium. Victor will only be seven matches of the $ 125 million payday if they win the entire tournament.

The winner will enter the 32-TIM tournament in the group stage, facing 2021 UEFA Champions League winners Chelsea in Atlanta on June 16, followed by matches against Esperance Tunisia at Nashville and Brazil Flamengo (Copa Libertadores 2022) in Orlando) in Orlando.

This playoff opportunity emerged after the MX League team club León was removed from the tournament due to violating multi-club ownership rules. Despite bringing their case to the Arbitration Court for Sports (CAS), Appeal León was rejected, creating an opening for LAFC and Club América.

The choice of the two clubs is based on specific criteria: LAFC becomes runner-up for Club León in 2023 Concacaf Champions League, while Club América is the top ranking team in the club’s World Cup Confederation ranking at the end of the 2024 Champions Cup.

The two clubs had previously met twice in a friendly competition, including a 0-0 draw at the League Cup showcase at Sofi Stadium in front of 71,189 fans in 2022, and a pre-season match at the BMO stadium sold out which LAFC won 2-1.

Only meet the requirements for the tournament to guarantee the initial $ 9.55 million. For perspective, LAFC only received $ 300,000 to win the MLS Cup in 2022, while Club América received $ 1 million during the MX 2024-25 League season.

The FIFA Club 2025 World Cup is a big leap in the distribution of prize money for club football.

There is a lot of criticism of the club’s world cup sports integrity with Inter Miami giving a slot that seems to be based on the marketing power of Lionel Messi rather than sports. The same thing can be debated for two play-off teams.

Play-off LAFC- Club America lasts the day before the CONCACAF Champions Cup final between Cruz Azul and Vancouver Whitecaps. Previously, the winner of the Champions Cup Concacaf will qualify for the club’s world cup that season. But Hey, why allow qualifications about sports services to block marketing money.
