United States is the host country, with games set to be played across the land in California, New Jersey, North Carolina, Georgia, Pennsylvania, Washington, Florida, Tennessee, Ohio and Washington D.C.
The new Club World Cup will see 32 teams divided into eight groups of four teams. The teams in each group play each other in round-robin and the top two teams progress to the knockout stage of the competition, or the last 16.
The knockout stage features three rounds (round of 16, quarter-finals and semi-finals) before the final. In knockout stage games, if the scores are level after normal time, extra time will be played. If a winner is not decided after extra time, a penalty shoot-out will be contested in order to determine a winner.
