Having won the Champions League this season, Real Madrid will be Europe’s one and only club in the upcoming FIFA Club World Cup tournament in Japan.
Los Blancos, who won the 2014 title, make a return to the tournament after missing out on last year’s edition. The Club World Cup will kick off later this year on December 8 and wrap up on the 18th of that exact month.
Zinedine Zidane’s boys, however, won’t be called into action until December 15 – a Thursday – due to the fact that the Spanish giants will enter the tournament in the semi-final stage.
On Wednesday, Les Merengues found out their opponent for the last 4 tie. The draw was held, with the result pairing Cristiano and Co. against one of two possible opponents: Club America or the AFC Champions League winner.
The Mexican club will clash with the Asian champion will lock horns in round 2 on December 11 in Osaka, with the winner moving on to face the awaiting Real Madrid. The Asian champions – as well as the African and Japanese champions – are yet to be decided, with the AFC Champions League currently in the quarter-final stage.
Like previous editions, this year’s Club World Cup is expected to have global television coverage, with Fox Sports maintaining the rights for USA and Australia. Viewers in Ronaldo’s home country Portugal will also have the action brought to them by Sport TV, whereas BT Sport will have their cameras set up for their audience in UK and Ireland.
With the draw done and dusted, the Spanish giants can now fully focus on their Liga game on Wednesday, a home clash with Villarreal. Victory will see Real Madrid break Barcelona’s record for most consecutive league wins, which – for now – stands at 16.
