Six of the twelve stadiums hosting the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup in the United States are powered by solar energy. The technology is used for everything from screens and air conditioning systems to lighting and parking lot roofs.
The result is twofold: a reduction in carbon emissions and a decrease in operating costs, generating benefits for both the environment and the event organization.
In Atlanta, the Mercedes-Benz Stadium is one of the highlights of this transformation. With 4 solar panels, the stadium generates 1,6 MWh per year and has already established itself as a benchmark for sustainability in the sports sector.
In Charlotte, Bank of America Stadium is also betting big on efficiency. In total, there are 5,8 photovoltaic modules installed, which prevent the emission of more than 600 tons of carbon per year.
In New Jersey, MetLife Stadium will be the center of attention during the grand final. With 1.350 panels, the stadium guarantees the supply of its basic operation.
Other stadiums
Lincoln Financial Field in Philadelphia is no slouch. Since 2012, the stadium has housed more than 10 modules and, in 2024, it was awarded the LEED Platinum seal – the highest environmental recognition available. During the tournament, it will host games by Flamengo, Manchester City and Juventus.
In Seattle, Lumen Field combines innovation and adaptation to the local climate. Its 3.750 panels generate more than 830 MWh per year, installed on a special roof that reduces heat absorption. The result is savings of up to 20% on energy bills.
And even the smallest of venues, Audi Field in Washington, shows that size does not define impact. Its 1.700 modules provide almost 800 kWh per year and reduce dependence on the electricity grid by 30%.
