Who is Los Angeles FC, Chelsea's opponent in FIFA Club World Cup 2025?
The revamped FIFA Club World Cup is well and truly underway in the United States, with the 32 best teams from around the world competing for the trophy in a month-long tournament. Major League Soccer side Los Angeles FC (LAFC) will begin its campaign against Premier League giant Chelsea in their Group D clash at the Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta on Monday (June 17 in IST). WHO IS LOS ANGELES FC? Los Angeles FC is an American football club that was founded in 2014. The team played its first professional game in the MLS in 2018 and has since then been a heavyweight in the competition. LAFC won its first honour in 2019, securing the MLS Supporters' Shield with a then league record of 72 points in the Western Conference. It won the shield again in 2022 and went on to secure wins in the Playoffs and reach the MLS Cup final, where it beat Philadelphia Union on penalties to be crowned champion. More recently, the LA outfit won the U.S. Open Cup in 2024 after beating Sporting Kansas City in final.

HOW DID LOS ANGELES FC QUALIFY FOR FIFA CLUB WORLD CUP 2025? Los Angeles FC booked a spot in the FIFA Club World Cup 2025 after beating Club América in a playoff match to decide who gets the spot left vacant by Mexican side Club Leon, which was kicked out of the tournament in March due to an ownership rule breach. A goal from Igor Jesus and an extra-time winner from Denis Bouanga ensured that LAFC completed a 2-1 comeback win against Club America. PLAYERS TO LOOK OUT FOR IN LOS ANGELES FC LAFC is led by forward Denis Bouanga, who has scored 48 league goals since the beginning of the 2023 season, which is five more than any other MLS player in that span (Christian Benteke, 43). This season, he currently ranks second in MLS with 36 shots on target and leads the squad's goalscoring charts with 11 goals in 21 appearances in all competitons. At the opposite end of the pitch, goalkeeper Hugo Lloris, a veteran of 70 UEFA Champions League matches with Lyon and Tottenham, and FIFA World Cup winner with France, has posted five clean sheets in 15 MLS starts this season. LAFC will also have the services of France's all time top-scorer Olivier Giroud in its ranks.

Soccer-Healthy crowds and Messi mania lift Club World Cup, but quality gap shows
* Fears of empty stands do not materialise * Messi's presence adds to party atmosphere * Healthy crowds bring relief to organiser FIFA * Australian semi-professionals' thrashing raises mismatch worry MIAMI, - The expanded Club World Cup has kicked off with healthy crowds, "Messi mania" and a festival atmosphere in Miami, giving an early vindication to world football body FIFA after fears of empty stands and global disinterest. FIFA controversially awarded Lionel Messi's Inter Miami a backdoor route into the tournament, ensuring the sport's biggest name would be there after he propelled soccer to new heights in a country often ambivalent to the world's most popular game. Some 61,000 fans packed the Hard Rock Stadium on Saturday to watch the Argentine and teammates play Egyptian giants Al-Ahly in a goalless draw. Another strong crowd turned out on Sunday for the clash between Paris St Germain and Atletico Madrid, which ended in a one-sided 4-0 win for the Champions League winners. However, Bayern Munich's 10-0 demolition of semi-professional Auckland City underscored the worrying gulf in quality between some of the competing clubs. But the opening weekend largely delivered what FIFA had hoped for: vibrant crowds and global representation. South American supporters made their presence especially felt. More than 1,000 Boca Juniors fans in blue and gold turned Miami Beach into a party strip on Sunday ahead of their opening match, singing club anthems and waving flags in scenes reminiscent of a World Cup carnival. "Wherever you go, Boca is here,' Gaston San Paul, a fan who flew in from Entre Rios in Argentina, told Reuters. 'Wherever we are we do this,' he added, referring to the "Banderazo" , a fan gathering destined to mark territory ahead of a game. Boca and Real Madrid games were among the top early ticket sellers, according to FIFA, which said that top markets after the U.S. were Brazil, Argentina and Mexico. Talk of empty stands was at least provisionally dismissed as well as heightened anxiety in the immigrant-heavy Miami area following recent federal immigration raids. At the heart of the opening weekend buzz was Messi, whose presence has elevated Inter Miami's profile and guaranteed global glamour for the tournament. $1 BILLION DEAL Messi, who received a standing ovation before kickoff, was unable to find the net against Al-Ahly but provided flashes of brilliance in a tightly contested, physical match. FIFA is banking not only on Messi's star power but also on a radical new broadcast strategy. The tournament is being streamed for free worldwide by DAZN in a $1 billion deal. That agreement followed Saudi Arabia's SURJ Sports Investment, a subsidiary of the country's Public Investment Fund , acquiring a minority stake in DAZN for a reported $1 billion — another marker of the kingdom's growing investment footprint in sport. The partnership, one of the largest broadcast packages in football history, is central to FIFA's push to maximize digital engagement and position the Club World Cup as a global spectacle ahead of the 2026 World Cup in North America. The $1 billion prize money, which ensures a hefty $125 million for the winners, was an obvious incentive for the European clubs. "There's a lot of money at stake. If you have the chance to earn a lot of money at a tournament, you should take the chance," former Bayern legend Karl Heinz Rummenigge said in the run-up. DAZN has yet to provide viewership data. While the crowds gave FIFA reason to be cheerful, the Bayern Munich v Auckland City match raised awkward questions about the tournament's balance as the German champions obliterated their opponents 10-0. Despite the lopsided contest in Cincinnati, the overall mood among organizers was one of optimism, calling the opening weekend a resounding success. Many Floridians, however, did not know a global soccer event was taking place in their state. "There is a World Cup? Hockey?," said one person working in a restaurant in Miami Beach. "This tournament is new, and it is different. It is the very first time clubs and players from all over the world have had the chance to face each other in competitive matches on a global stage," FIFA said, referring to the 32-club format after the previous editions featured seven. With group matches continuing through the week and Boca's opener against Benfica expected to draw another bumper crowd in Miami later on Monday, FIFA will be hoping to build on the early momentum — and avoid more one-sided encounters like the one in Cincinnati as European teams appear to be a level above those from other continents'.

Najmul Hossain Shanto-led Bangladesh will be equally determined to put the string of defeats in the past behind them and make a fresh start. The inexperienced side faced a bag of mixed results in the previous cycle. While a remarkable 2-0 whitewash over Pakistan headlined a journey that also featured impressive standalone wins against New Zealand and West Indies, Bangladesh still finished seventh on the nine-team table with eight losses. One spot below the Lankans, who won five of their 13 Tests. The 1st Test between Sri Lanka and Bangladesh will be played from Tuesday, June 17, at Galle. The match will start at 10:00 AM IST. The live streaming of the Sri Lanka vs Bangladesh 1st Test will be available on the Sony Liv app in India.
