Chelsea is set to play either Los Angeles FC or Club America in the inaugural expanded Club World Cup this summer. The two CONCACAF teams will compete in a playoff to determine who joins Chelsea in Group D, alongside Flamengo and ES Tunis. Club Leon was eliminated from the tournament due to a breach of FIFA's multi-club rules. Despite attempts to appeal the decision, CAS ruled in favor of FIFA's choice to allow Club America into the tournament based on their higher ranking. The playoff is scheduled for late May, with Chelsea's match on 16 June.
The playoff between Los Angeles FC and Club America will determine who faces Chelsea in the Club World Cup, a critical matchup for both teams.
Chelsea will officially commence their Club World Cup journey against either LAFC or Club America, aiming to secure an early advantage in the tournament.
