The list of participants of the Club World Cup, which will be held in the United States and will start on the 14th. The Los Angeles FC, the host country, won the last place in the tournament, set on Saturday night (31).
The Californian team beat America-MEX 2-1 in a duel defined in extension. The Mexican formation opened the scoring with Brian Rodríguez, with a penalty, but the opponent sought the draw in the end, with Brazilian Igor Jesus, and triumphed in Extra Time, in the finalization of Bouanga.
The match between the teams was a solution from FIFA (International Football Federation) for the impasse of the final place in the World Cup. Mexico’s León had the necessary results to compete in the competition, but has the same owner of Pachuca, also Mexico. The regulation does not allow teams of the same owner in the event.
Therefore, a confrontation between Los Angeles-was defined by León in the Concacaf Champions Cup final of 2023-and the best ranking team in North America that had no vacancy, America-MEx. In a single game in the United States, he gave LAFC.
The club thus won a place in Group D, headed by Chelsea, England. Also in the key are Flamengo, from Brazil, and Sperance, from Tunisia.
