FIFA Club World Cup draw: live online.
The 2020 edition of the tournament, which was originally scheduled for December, will now be held from 4-11 February in Qatar and will bring together continental champions from across the world.
Just last week the competition saw Auckland City withdrawn from the tournament due to the covid-19 pandemic and quarantine measures required by New Zealand's authorities. The news of their withdrawal was confirmed via FIFA on Friday.
That leaves six competitors representing global governing bodies of: UEFA (Bayern Munich), AFC (Ulsan Hyundai), CONCACAF (Tigres UANL), CAF (Al Ahly), Qatari league champions Al-Duhail along with a CONMEBOL representative that will be resolved after the Copa Libertadores final between Santos and Palmeiras on 30 January.
Bayern Munich and the Libertadores winners get a fast track through to the semi-final of the tournament that will be staged in Al-Rayaan in the Doha suburbs with Education City and the Al-Rayaan stadiums to be used to stage the matches.
