It's finally time: we are only days away for the first edition of the revamped FIFA Club World Cup, a competition that will pit together football clubs from all over the world, in the dates and with the format typically used for the Nations' World Cup.
We have been eagerly anticipating this competition for many months, and finally, on Saturday June 14 (Sunday at 1:00 AM, CEST, 2:00 BST in Europe) the inaugural match between Al-Ahly and Inter Miami will start. Miami, let's not forget, it's there as a "wild card", a special place for a club of the host country, something that most critics believe it was forced so that Messi would play it...
The FIFA Club World Cup is taking place between June 14 and July 13 in the US. That means that some matches will take place at weird hours for us, European fans, but it's sure that the semi-finals (June 8 and 9) and final (June 13) will take place at 20:00 BST, 21:00 CEST.
Here we go, the complete schedule of the FIFA Club World Cup, so you don't miss any match. Dates have been used are BST (UK) and CEST (central European summer time). Remember that all games will be broadcast globally for free in DAZN.
