How to Experience the FIFA Club World Cup USA from Anywhere

Alright, football fans. Or should we say, soccer fans? (We'll let that one slide, America) Whether you're tuning into or attending the FIFA World Club Cup this Summer for the goals, the sun, the stadium snacks, or the slightly confused hotdog vendor asking if "Manchester City is a place?" you're in for a wild ride. We've got all of the must know details about the FIFA World Club Cup including what's the fuss and who's taking part, where the matches will take place, where to watch it if you watching it from afar and your USA travel tips if you plan to travel stateside for the tournament.

The FIFA Club World Cup 2025 is coming to the USA and it’s not just any Summer football club pre-season tournament. We’re talking 32 of the world’s best clubs, across 12 stadiums, in 11 cities, over 29 days of footie bliss. It’s the first mega-format Club World Cup, and it's making history.

So get your boots laced (metaphorically, unless you're planning to play!), get your jersey ordered, sort your USA eSIM from Sim Local, and let’s take you on a coast-to-coast road trip of goals, glory, and VAR reviews explained like they're Super Bowl plays.

Think of this as Champions League meets World Cup, with a sprinkle of American razzmatazz. It’s the first time 32 club teams will battle it out in a proper group-to-knockout World Cup like format. And the USA being the land of bigger, louder, more is rolling out the red carpet to 32 iconic football clubs.

It’s a clash of continents. You’ve got the legends from Europe, powerhouses from South America, and rising stars from Africa, Asia, USA and beyond. All in stadiums that usually house the NFL’s finest (yes, the hand-egg sport).

Here’s the key info:

• 32 teams from over 20 countries
• Matches from June 15 to July 13, 2025
• 63 games across 12 venues
• The final at MetLife Stadium, New Jersey (just outside the Big Apple)

Each city is a vibe. You’re not just going for the football; you’re stepping into American culture — one diner breakfast and oversized soda at a time. Let’s highlight a few of our favourites:

New York/New Jersey – Statue of Liberty, skyline views, street pizza that will ruin all other pizza forever. The energy is chaotic perfection. MetLife will host the final, so you already know it’s going to be special.

Los Angeles – The glitz! The glamour! The traffic! Visit Santa Monica, grab tacos in Venice Beach, then catch PSG vs Atletico Madrid under the California sun.

Miami – Messi’s turf. Cuban sandwiches, art deco, beach sunsets, and humidity that’ll have you questioning your fashion choices. Hard Rock Stadium is going to rock — pun intended.

Seattle – Rainy but ruggedly charming. Home of Starbucks, grunge music, and some of the most passionate football fans Stateside. Say hi to the Sounders faithful.

Atlanta, Dallas, San Francisco, Philly, and more – each with its own quirks. One moment you’re eating deep-fried Oreos at a tailgate in Texas, the next you’re sipping craft coffee in Capitol Hill. USA, you contain multitudes.

From football royalty to underdog dreamers, here’s a taste of the groups:

• Group A: Palmeiras, FC Porto, Al Ahly, Inter Miami
• Group B: PSG, Atletico Madrid, Botafogo, Seattle Sounders
• Group C: Bayern Munich, Auckland FC, Boca Juniors, Benfica
• Group D: Flamengo, Espérance de Tunisie, Chelsea, LAFC,
• Group E: River Plate, Urawa Red Diamonds, CF Monterray, Inter Milan
• Group F: Fluminense, Borussia Dortmund, Ulsan HD, Mamelodi Sundowns FC
• Group G: Manchester City, Wydad AC, Al Ain FC, Juventus
• Group H: Real Madrid, Al Hilal, Pachuca, RB Salzburg

You get the idea - there are no easy games. There is one hipster dream pick though: River Plate’s Franco Mastantuono. Remember the name.

• Book early as hotels in each city will fill up fast.
• Use public transport in NYC, DC, and Philly. Rent a car in LA or Dallas unless you want to age 10 years in a single bus journey.
• Tip your servers. 20% is the usual.
• Don’t call it "soccer" unless you're trying to make friends with Americans. (Actually... even then still call it football)
• Pack sunscreen. And rain gear depending on the city. America contains multitudes of weather.

Let’s be honest, your mobile provider back home doesn’t love you enough to waive roaming. But Sim Local does. Get your USA eSIM sorted before your boots hit US soil.

Let’s face it, not all of us can be stadium-hopping across the U.S. with a hot dog in one hand and a match ticket in the other. Maybe you’re lounging on a beach in Spain.

Whatever your holiday (or non-holiday) situation, the beautiful game waits for no one. That’s where Sim Local swoops in to save the day.
