What is the FIFA Club World Cup?

The annual tournament features the champions of the different continents along with the host nation's national champions, with Chelsea qualifying as Champions League winners.

The games were due to be played in Japan, but they pulled out as hosts last month because of the high number of coronavirus cases in the country so the tournament is being held in the United Arab Emirates.

Chelsea, who have a bye through to the semi-finals, will face either Egyptian side Al Ahly, New Zealand's Auckland City or Al Jazira Club from UAE, who are among the 10 teams who have qualified for the tournament.

    The Blues' opponents will be determined by the results of earlier rounds of action, with Palmeiras of Brazil the only other club assured of a semi-final berth.

The Polynesian missionary

  A Mormon missionary, stationed in Togo in 2018, awoke at 5:10am for what he believed would be a standard Sunday. It began habitually. By 6am he was studying scriptures. By 8:30am he was at sacrament. By 9:45am he was out on the streets preaching the gospel. Then, over fufu and beans at lunch, it took an atypical detour. The 20-year-old was told he would be given a few hours off that afternoon – a non-existent occurrence in the undeviating, 6am-till-9pm life of a missionary. Another religion was the cause. The one Pele christened ‘The Beautiful Game’. Its quadrennial showpiece was on TV. In it N’Golo Kante, born in Paris to Malian parents, would be flying the flag for West Africa. Togo was abuzz and Roonui Tinirauarii duly cheered as the battery-powered midfielder helped France conquer the FIFA World Cup™. Kante is now bidding to become a global king again – in a different shade of bleu . This time, though, Roonui won’t be willing him on from the break room of a Latter-Day Saint...

Club World Cup on track despite Houthi attacks on UAE: FIFA

FIFA says the Club World Cup 2021, scheduled to take place in Abu Dhabi in February this year, is scheduled to go ahead as planned despite the escalation in Yemen’s long-running war that has seen the UAE capital targeted by Houthi missiles in the last week. On Monday, the UAE said it had intercepted and destroyed two ballistic missiles over Abu Dhabi fired by Yemen’s Houthi rebels. The escalation in violence and the twin attacks raised doubts over the tournament but FIFA, football’s world governing body, told Al Jazeera that the event is planned to go ahead as scheduled. “The FIFA Club World Cup UAE 2021 will be hosted as planned,” a FIFA spokesperson said. “When it comes to security at the FIFA Club World Cup UAE 2021, FIFA is continuing to monitor the situation and working closely with the Local Organising Committee, and other key stakeholders in the UAE, regarding security arrangements for the tournament.” The seven-team event gets under way with host team Al Jazira Club ta...
