Four locations in New Jersey will serve as the base camp sites for four of the participating teams in the upcoming FIFA Club World Cup, which begins later this month. African club Al Ahly FC, Brazilian side CR Flamengo, Portuguese club FC Porto and Red Bull Salzburg will all be, at least partially, based out of training sites throughout the Garden State. FC Porto's Portuguese midfielder Rodrigo Mora (86) celebrates with FC Porto's Sweden's forward Deniz Gul (27) after scoring their first goal during the Portuguese League football match between Casa Pia AC and FC Porto at the Estadio Municipal in Rio Maior on April 12, 2025.

FC Porto will be based at Rutgers University's Piscataway campus, CR Flamengo will train out of Stockton University's campus just outside of Atlantic City and Al Ahly will be based at the Pingry School in Basking Ridge. All four teams will primarily play their group stage matches in the Northeast. 'The clubs, their players, coaches, management, staff and fans will build incredible connections with the local people that support them throughout the tournament,' FIFA Secretary General Mattias Grafström said in a statement. The 32-team tournament will begin on Saturday, June 14, with a match between Al Ahly and MLS side Inter Miami. The first game of the Club World Cup at MetLife Stadium will be the following day between Brazilian side Palmeiras and FC Porto.

Kylian Mbappe Near Historic Feat After Real Madrid Win Over Sevilla
Kylian Mbappe scored in Real Madrid's 2-0 win over Sevilla in La Liga. Real Madrid have nothing to play for with one more league game this season, but Mbappe is one goal away from a historic individual season. The French striker has now scored 29 league goals this season, leading the top goalscorer race in La Liga. He is one goal away from being the fourth player in La Liga history to score 30 goals in their debut season. Ronaldo Nazario (34 goals), Prudencio Sanchez (33 goals), and Romario (30 goals) are the other three players. Mbappe has four more goals than FC Barcelona's Robert Lewandowski, and with one league game left, he is likely to win the Pichichi award (top goalscorer award in La Liga). With 53 matches played across all competitions, Mbappe scored 41 goals and provided five assists. Advertisement Ronaldo Nazario still holds a record that Mbappe may not be able to reach. Ronaldo remains the best debutant for a Spanish team in terms of goals, as the Brazilian scored 47 goals in 49 games across all competitions for FC Barcelona in the 1996-97 season. For Real Madrid, Mbappe already made history as he became the first player in the club's history to score 40 or more goals in their debut season. Cristiano Ronaldo scored 33 goals in his debut season, scoring 26 league goals. Kylian Mbappe and the Golden Boot Kylian Mbappe and Real Madrid will play against Real Sociedad next week in their last game of the season. Mbappe could make history in La Liga with one more goal, but that one goal wins him the Golden Boot this season. Advertisement With 29 league goals so far, he is only one away from winning the European Golden Boot, which would be his first of his career. Currently at number one is Sporting CP striker Viktor Gyokeres. Gyokeres finished the Portuguese League season with Sporting yesterday, with a total of 39 goals. According to the point system for the Golden Boot, every goal Gyokeres scored counts as 1.5 points, due to Sporting playing in the Portuguese League, which is not a top-five league in Europe. Player/Team Matches Played Goals Scored (League) League Coefficient Points Viktor Gyokeres/Sporting 33 39 1.5 58.5 Kylian Mbappe/Real Madrid 33 29 2 58 Mohamed Salah/Liverpool 36 28 2 56 Harry Kane/Bayern Munich 31 26 2 52 Robert Lewandowski/FC Barcelona 33 25 2 50 With Mbappe playing in La Liga, each goal he scores counts as two points. One more goal overtakes Gyokeres in points, which means the French striker will go for this prestigious individual award next weekend. Mbappe has scored in each of the last five games played for Real Madrid. He has eight goals in the last five games. With this momentum, Mbappe is close to completing a successful debut season for Real Madrid, after the tough criticism he received at the beginning of the season.
