Fans will see the world’s top teams compete for the most prestigious honour in global club football.
All FIFA Club World Cup matches will take place in the city’s two international football grounds, Mohamed bin Zayed Stadium and Al Nahyan Stadium.
The Arab world will be represented by Saudi Arabia's Al Hilal, Al Ahly from Egypt, and UAE Champions, Al Jazira. Champions League winners Chelsea and top teams from other leagues will also feature.
Working alongside FIFA, there will be a seamless experience for players, managers and club officials from the moment they arrive in the country, to their movements to and from training bases and stadiums. This will ensure a "bubble" familiar with other sports events to mitigate the threat of infection.
Fans are advised to arrive early ahead of kick-off to allow sufficient time for security, as well as health and safety screening at the stadium entry points. Masks and social distancing will also be required at all times.
In the last six months alone, the capital’s sporting schedule included the Abu Dhabi F1 Grand Prix, UFC Fight Island, Abu Dhabi Marathon, Mubadala World Tennis Championship, Abu Dhabi 2021 FINA World Swimming Championships and Abu Dhabi HSBC golf championship at Yas Links.
