Battle of the best FIFA Club World Cup
Barcelona and Estudiantes are the favourites to emerge triumphant, while a quintet of outsiders are eager to realise their own goals at UAE 2009.
This year’s FIFA Club World Cup in Abu Dhabi, which will kick off on Wednesday, is the sixth edition of the prestigious global tournament since its inception in 2000. The inaugural event took place in Brazil, with Japan doing duty as hosts for the last four years. Now, though, the tournament is paying a first visit to the United Arab Emirates, where the top teams from each of FIFA’s member confederations will contest the title of best club in the world.
