The FIFA Club World Cup expanded to a 32-team tournament for 2025, with matches being played across various American cities. LAFC qualified as a last-minute replacement after winning a play-off against Mexico's Club America following Club Leon's disqualification. However, with the loss, LAFC have been eliminated from advancing any further in the tournament.

WHAT’S NEXT?

LAFC will play their final group match against Flamengo on June 24 in a dead rubber for the MLS side, having been eliminated from advancing any further. For Flamengo, a draw or a win will ensure that they finish at the top of Group D ahead of Chelsea or ES Tunis.
