After months of anticipation, the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup is just a few days from kicking off. MetLife Stadium will be hosting its first match on Jun. 14, as SE Palmeiras takes on FC Porto. Once the match begins, the Meadowlands will be in store for a month full of soccer. MetLife Stadium will be hosting nine matches for the tournament, ranging from group stage matches all the way to the final.
With high level teams participating in the tournament, there is expected to be higher levels of traffic around the times that each game starts. Their matchup will take place at 6 p.m., with other games in the following days taking place at different times, including 12 p.m.
NJ Transit will be running rail service from Secaucus Junction to MetLife Stadium to make it easier for travellers. The rail service begins roughly four hours before kickoff and runs up to three hours following the completion of the game. Trains operate roughly every 10-20 minutes to accommodate for all guests.
Redd’s Restaurant & Bar in Carlstadt will also be offering shuttle service to MetLife Stadium for anyone seeking an alternate way to travel to the venue. Located conveniently just a few minutes from MetLife Stadium, their shuttle service is a quick and easy alternative.
The odds for both teams are roughly the same, meaning that MetLife Stadium is in store for a fun and competitive match. Both teams sit towards the middle of the pack in regards to their odds of winning the entirety of the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup. While it is not highly likely, both teams still have a chance at winning it all.
