Some of the biggest soccer teams in the world will be training in South Florida over the next 10 days, preparing for the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup, which kicks off June 14 at Hard Rock Stadium with Lionel Messi and his Inter Miami teammates taking on Egyptian club Al Ahly.
Hard Rock Stadium will host eight games and South Florida facilities will serve as base camp training sites for seven of the 32 teams in the month-long tournament, including Manchester City, Real Madrid, Chelsea, Boca Juniors, and Borussia Dortmund, FIFA confirmed on Tuesday.
Let's hope they packed plenty of umbrellas and rain gear, as the area has been flooded by a deluge that began on Monday and is forecast to continue Wednesday with lighter rain expected the rest of the week.
The teams training in South Florida are: Al Ahly (Nova Southeastern University, Davie), Borussia Dortmund (Inter Miami training facility, Fort Lauderdale), Boca Juniors (Barry University, Miami Shores), Chelsea (Nova Southeastern University, Davie), Inter Miami (Inter Miami training facility, Fort Lauderdale), Manchester City (Lynn University, Boca Raton), Real Madrid (Gardens North County District Park, Palm Beach Gardens).
'These sites and more significantly the people and communities that surround them will welcome the world's best, providing first-class environments and hospitality in support of the teams,' said FIFA Secretary General Mattias Grafström.
'The clubs, their players, coaches, management, staff and fans will build incredible connections with the local people that support them throughout the tournament. This is a consistently important part of any World Cup, and I can't wait to learn about the bonds forged throughout this historic event.'
There have been no announcements yet of any training sessions that will be open to the public.
