What is the FIFA Club World Cup?

Many football fans might remember the Club World Cup, as it is a tournament that has been going on for a long time. But this year’s Club World Cup will be quite different than its predecessors as FIFA has completely changed the format for the tournament, as it will now feature 32 teams. In contrast, earlier, only 7 teams participated in the 2023 Club World Cup.

Match Preview:  

The match will be held in the Rose Bowl Stadium in the USA. Both teams are giants in their respective leagues, and this match will surely be a clash of titans.
