Each day soccer fanatics get closer and closer to the inaugural FIFA Club World Cup. With all 32 teams in place for the tournament, the FIFA Club World Cup schedule has officially been announced.
The tournament kicks off in Miami on June 14 when Al Ahly FC takes on Inter Miami CF — the only game on the first day of the tournament. Audi Field, the home for D.C. United and the Washington Spirit, will host three group stage games during the first 12 days of competition.
The first match will be a Group G toss up on June 18 as Al Ain FC takes on Juventus FC at 9 p.m. On June 22, FC Salzburg will play against Al Hilal at 6 p.m. in a Group H showdown. The final game will take place on June 28 when Wydad AC kicks off against Al Ain FC at 3 p.m.
From there, the top two teams in each group will move on to the Round of 16, which will be played in Philadelphia (Lincoln Financial Field); Charlotte, North Carolina (Bank of America Stadium); Atlanta (Mercedes-Benz Stadium); Miami (Hard Rock Stadium); and Orlando (Camping World Stadium).
Tickets for all the games go on sale Thursday, December 19, at 10 a.m. and will only be available on FIFA’s website.
