FIFA Club World Cup 2019


Recommended Posts

Following the glory of Saturday night Liverpool are one of four clubs to have so far booked their place in the 2019 edition, along with newly crowned African champions Esperance de Tunis from Tunisia, Mexican club Monterrey, and New Caledonia's Hienghene Sport representing Oceania.

The winners of the Asian Champions League and Copa Libertadores will join them, with both competitions scheduled to conclude in November.

There is also a place in the seven-team competition for the champions of the host nation. In 2019, that will be 2018/19 Qatar Stars League winners Al-Sadd, now managed by recently retired Barcelona and Spain legend Xavi.

As European champions, Liverpool will get a bye to the semifinals. The eventual Copa Libertadores from South America winner will also get a bye into the other semifinal.

Probably one of the few out there who value this competition. I'd love for more intercontinental football competitions, a niche that FIFA hasn't really delved into (unless those rumors of CWC expansion are true).

Would expect there will be. In 2005 the BBC covered both Liverpool games. Not sure since. 


Yes that was probably the last time I remember any uk coverage of this
