PEACHTREE CITY, USA – Matches of the FIFA Club World Cup took place this Summer in Aventure’s hometown of Atlanta, as part of the U.S. hosting the international soccer competition for 2025. The city hosted some of the world’s most elite clubs as they competed for the title of world champion.
Games also took place in ten other cities across America. Atlanta played a prominent role with Mercedes-Benz Stadium featuring group-stage, round-of-16, and quarter-final matches.
The tournament underwent a major transformation this year, expanding from seven teams to a 32-club format, and adopting a structure similar to the FIFA World Cup, with group stages followed by knockout rounds.
The tournament introduced a number of exciting innovations, including advanced technologies like referee body cams, AI-assisted offside tracking, and new substitution tools.
Chelsea claimed the championship with a 3–0 victory over Paris Saint-Germain in the final at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey.
“It was great to show the world what Atlanta has to offer,” said Hamzah Faruqi, Aventure’s director of sales. “We are very excited for the 2026 World Cup.”
Atlanta is set to host eight world cup matches next year including five group stage matches and three knockout round matches, one of which will be a semi-final.
