The officials have been confirmed for the Club World Cup clash between Chelsea and LAFC at the Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta, United States.

LAFC reached this stage largely because of Bouanga, whose extra-time strike vs. Club América sealed an epic 2-1 comeback victory on May 31. The sides met in a play-in game at BMO Stadium, with the winner replacing Club León as the 32nd and final team when the Club World Cup unfolds this summer across the United States.

Chelsea hopes to pick up their second trophy of the year, and securing three points will be crucial ahead of a big match with Flamengo. LAFC needed a late comeback and extra time to qualify for this competition, and are hoping to extend a 10-match unbeaten run.

Chelsea are gearing up for their 2025 Club World Cup opener against LAFC and Enzo Maresca's side have one thing on their mind - to win the competition.

When the ball gets kicked off the center circle of Miami’s Hard Rock Stadium, the United States will go down in history as the first host of the most important soccer tournament created this century.

Enzo Maresca says Cole Palmer can show everyone how good he is by leading Chelsea in their bid for more silverware at the Club World Cup.

England’s two most successful clubs, Liverpool and Manchester United, will not be participating in the new-look Club World Cup this year, but here’s how they could qualify when the next tournament runs around.
