The 82,500-seat MetLife Stadium is currently hosting the climactic matches of the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup, with the semi-finals taking place on July 8 and July 9, featuring world-renowned clubs such as Fluminense FC (Brazil), Chelsea FC (England), Real Madrid (Spain), and Paris Saint-Germain (France). The winners of these semi-final matches will face off in the grand final on Sunday, July 13, 2025, also at MetLife Stadium[5].
This final event underscores MetLife Stadium’s status as one of the largest and most technologically advanced stadiums in the United States, regularly accommodating over 80,000 spectators for sporting events and up to 90,000 for major concerts. The stadium, inaugurated in 2010 with a $1.6 billion investment, features advanced infrastructure, energy-efficient LED lighting, and sustainability measures such as a solar ring with 1,350 panels generating 350 kW of power[1].
