Lumen Field among 12 venues selected to host World Cup matches

On Saturday, FIFA announced the 2025 FIFA World Cup venues and Seattle made the list.

Lumen Field will host teams from the newly expanded competition format in 2025.

“Hosting the FIFA Club World Cup at Lumen Field is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for our fans and our organization,” Sounders FC Majority Owner Adrian Hanauer said . “Never before have we faced the world’s top club sides in expanded competitive play, and the fact that the first edition of this new tournament is being played in our country and our city is historic.”

The Seattle Sounders FC qualified to compete in the World Cup after winning the 2022 Concacaf Champions Cup and becoming the only MLS team to win the Concacaf title.

12 venues will host the 63 matches between June 15 and July 13, 2025.

Venues selected to host:

• Mercedes-Benz Stadium – Atlanta, GA
• TQL Stadium – Cincinnati, OH
• Bank of America Stadium – Charlotte, NC
• Rose Bowl Stadium – Los Angeles, CA
• Hard Rock Stadium – Miami, FL
• GEODIS Park – Nashville, TN
• MetLife Stadium – New Jersey
• Camping World Stadium – Orlando, FL
• Inter&Co Stadium – Orlando, FL
• Lincoln Financial Field – Philadelphia, PA
• Lumen Field – Seattle, WA
• Audi Field – Washington, D.C.

“The ability to share this competition with our Alliance Members on this stage is beyond special,” Sounders FC President of Business Operations Hugh Weber said. “This is a first and perhaps only-of-its-kind moment to play in FIFA’s global club championship on home turf. Sharing such an experience as a community is extraordinary.”

The Seattle Sounders FC will work with FIFA to guarantee seats for its Alliance Members, which could include a potential home game for the club.
