The world’s best football clubs will discover their group stage opponents for the inaugural 32-club FIFA Club World Cup at the draw on December 5 in Miami.
The date was highly anticipated as many questions still surround this competition, whose revenues and benefits for the clubs remain a mystery — its TV broadcasters are not yet known and only one sponsor has been announced: Chinese electronics manufacturer Hisense.
The draw will kick off at 6pm Greenwich Mean Time to determine the eight groups of four teams who will compete in the tournament in the United States from June 15 to July 13. The 16 clubs finishing in the top two places in each group will qualify for the knockout phase, from the round of 16 to the final, without a match for third place.
