With the Liga MX side violating multi-ownership rules, the Black & Gold will host Club América on May 31 to be a replacement in the 32-team tournament

So, with FIFA’s own decision upheld about their own tournament, León are now officially out, and will be replaced by either Los Angeles FC (LAFC) or another Liga MX side, Club América. These two are set to play a one-off playoff (play-in?) at the end of the month, at BMO Stadium in Los Angeles on May 31.

Mexican soccer club León has lost its appeal against FIFA and will not play in the Club World Cup next month in the United States.
