FIFA has scheduled a one-game playoff between Club América and Los Angeles Football Club (LAFC) to determine a replacement for Club León in the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup. Club León was disqualified after FIFA found that its presence would breach competition rules as it shares ownership with another Liga MX team. This playoff arrangement will be activated if León's upcoming appeal to the Court of Arbitration for Sport is unsuccessful. In parallel, both León and Liga Deportiva Alajuelense will present their arguments to CAS regarding León's eligibility, awaiting a resolution before a replacement is confirmed.
