Just showing up pays off—at the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup, clubs are cashing in big before the first whistle even blows. The entry check alone could make history.

PHILADELPHIA (WPVI) -- A different type of "football" is taking over Lincoln Financial Field this summer. The first of eight FIFA Club World Cup Matches will take place, starting Monday night, in South Philadelphia. The stadium has been transformed into a football pitch.

Former Tottenham goalkeeper and France’s World Cup-winning captain Hugo Lloris and ex-Arsenal striker Olivier Giroud are standout names, while Odin Holm, on loan from Celtic, will also be familiar. Coach Steve Cherundolo played more than 300 Bundesliga matches for Hannover.
