LAFC has secured the last ticket to the big dance, rallying to defeat Club América, 2-1, in a FIFA Club World Cup playoff that required extra time at BMO Stadium in Los Angeles.
Former LAFC attacker Brian Rodríguez had given América a 64th-minute lead from a VAR-assisted penalty kick, and the Liga MX powers seemed to have done just enough to claim a win that will be worth nearly $10 million at a minimum.
In the Most recent, FIFA has awarded Inter Miami CF a spot at the 2025 Club World Cup, filling the place allotted to the host country.
The decision ensures two Major League Soccer teams will participate in the expanded, 32-team tournament hosted across the United States from June 15 to July 13, 2025. Seattle Sounders FC are the other MLS representative after winning the 2022 Concacaf Champions Cup.
