LAFC and Club América are set to battle for the final spot in the FIFA Club World Cup, after Club Léon were disqualified

The winners of the one-off game will take the place of Club Leon in Group D for the newly-expanded tournament.

These teams were determined due to LAFC being the runner-up to Leon in the 2023 Concacaf Champions Cup and Club America being the top-ranked team in the FIFA Club World Cup confederation rankings. This playoff creates quite the opportunity for these teams as each Concacaf club participating in the tournament will receive $9.
