The format for the 2025 Club World Cup follows the same format to a 32-team international World Cup. 32 teams will be drawn into eight groups of four teams in each. The top two teams from each group will make it through the last 16, while the bottom two teams in each group will be eliminated.

DC’s Audi Field, with a capacity of 20,000 seats, will serve as a venue for the Club World Cup, hosting three matches. DC is also close to Club World Cup matches in Philadelphia (2.5 hours by car), New York/New Jersey (4 hours), and even Charlotte (6 hours).

In the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup, this 74,867-seat stadium will host two group stage games and two matches from the round of 16. "The Benz" is the only Club World Cup venue with a retractable roof and, with its 360-degree video screen, is the most technologically-advanced stadium of the 12 buildings in this year's tournament.
