ATLANTA — The FIFA Club World Cup takes over Atlanta starting on Monday. There will be six matches over the next three weeks at Mercedes-Benz Stadium featuring some of the biggest soccer clubs in the world. Atlanta officials expect to draw thousands to the matches and use the FIFA Club World Cup as a trial run for the 2026 FIFA Men’s World Cup.
