FIFA president Gianni Infantino announced plans for a playoff between Los Angeles FC (LAFC) and Club America for a spot in the Club World Cup. This follows the removal of Club Leon from the tournament due to multi-club ownership rules. Club Leon is appealing the decision through the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS), and Infantino indicated they would respect CAS's final ruling. If the ruling upholds FIFA's decision, the playoff match will determine which team earns the final place in the tournament, which features substantial prize money of $1 billion.
