June 2025

8 CHARLOTTE SCORES BIG FIFA CLUB WORLD CUP 2025 COMES TO THE QUEEN CITY June 22–30 | Bank of America Stadium | Uptown Char - lotte Charlotte goes global this June as it hosts one of the world’s biggest soccer events: the FIFA Club World Cup 2025. For the first time ever, Bank of America Stadium will take center stage, welcoming international champi - ons and thousands of fans to the Queen City. It’s not just a game. It’s a moment. And Charlotte is ready. What Is the FIFA Club World Cup? Unlike the FIFA World Cup, which features national teams, the Club World Cup showcases the best profes - sional clubs from around the globe. These are teams that have won their continental championships—like UEFA’s Real Madrid, CONCACAF’s Pachuca, and CAF’s Al Ahly. The 2025 edition features 32 teams, expanded from the traditional seven. It’s a huge deal for soccer fans—and for host cities like Charlotte.
