The FIFA Club World Cup is coming to Philly. Here’s what you need to know.

Philadelphia will host one of soccer’s biggest international showcases this summer: the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup, a tournament featuring the world’s top club teams — not national teams, like in the FIFA World Cup.

From June 16 to July 4, Lincoln Financial Field will host eight of the tournament’s 63 matches, bringing some of the biggest names in global soccer to South Philadelphia. Fans can expect to see stars like Kylian Mbappé and Jude Bellingham (Real Madrid), Erling Haaland (Manchester City), and Cole Palmer (Chelsea) take to the Linc.

“The FIFA Club World Cup will determine who are the best players in the world for the first time in history, which is the best team in the world,” FIFA president Gianni Infantino said. “And, of course, to be in the city where everything started, almost 250 years ago, here in Philadelphia, is a symbol in itself. Here the American dream started, and here we’ll start with a new FIFA Club World Cup.”

Other host cities include Seattle, Los Angeles, Miami, Orlando, Atlanta, Nashville, Charlotte, Cincinnati, Washington, D.C., and East Rutherford, N.J., where the final will be held at MetLife Stadium.

This year marks the first edition of the revamped Club World Cup, which now takes place every four years, features 32 teams, and introduces a new format and trophy.

Here’s everything you need to know about the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup games in Philadelphia.

Whether you’re coming for Real Madrid, Manchester City, or just the vibes, you’ll want to eat like a Philly local while you’re at the Linc.

Lincoln Financial Field has moved beyond soggy nachos and basic hot dogs. During the FIFA Club World Cup this summer, the South Philly stadium will serve up some of the region’s best bites — from cheesesteaks and smash burgers to Hawaiian BBQ pies and Brazilian cocktails.

Here’s where to find the best food inside the stadium:

🥪 America’s Pie Kitchen & Grille (Section 114): Try The Vincent: a Philly-style chicken cutlet sandwich topped with fried pepperoni, vodka sauce, fresh mozzarella, and hot honey on a seeded roll.

🥧 G’Day Gourmet (Section 111): The Maui BBQ Pie, filled with roast pork in Huli Huli sauce and wrapped in a flaky crust, was developed in collaboration with Eagles lineman Jordan Mailata and chef and Inquirer food reporter Kiki Aranita.

🍟 Chickie’s & Pete’s (Multiple locations): No stadium trip is complete without Crabfries: crinkle-cut fries dusted with Old Bay-style seasoning and served with white cheese sauce.

🍺 Liberty Bell Tap (Various locations): For craft beer lovers: find local and imported options beyond the usual stadium fare.

🥩 Philip’s Steaks (Sections 101, 225): One of Philly’s top cheesesteak spots — and yes, that Philip’s. Even Ed Sheeran once jumped behind the counter here.

🥖 Tony Luke’s (Section 112): Another cheesesteak icon, serving up the classics. Expect lines.

🥟 The Pierogie Place (Section 125): Potato and cheese pierogies topped with caramelized onions, kielbasa, and sour cream.

🍗 The Wing Kitchen (Section 108): Run by Chopped winner Timothy Witcher, this spot serves crispy bone-in and boneless wings.

🍔 Zac’s Hamburgers (Section 110): A Delco favorite known for double-patty cheeseburgers and thick-cut fries.

🇧🇷 Philly Favorites (Various locations): Find Philly staples with a Brazilian twist, like a cold-cut hand pie layered with provolone and tomato relish, finished with long hot aioli.
