Well lace up your boots as tickets for the eight-match tournament are now on sale.

The games will be played out from 3 to 12 February 2022 at the Mohammed bin Zayed and Al Nayhan Stadiums in the city.

It will be the fifth time Abu Dhabi has hosted the competition after previously being the scene for the 2009, 2010, 2017 and 2019 editions.

The 2021 edition will see Chelsea (Europe), Al Ahly of Egypt (Africa), Monterrey (North America), Al Hilal-Pohang (Asia), Palmeiras (South America), AS Pirae (Oceania) and local side, Jazira, battle it out for the Sir Thomas Lipton Trophy and the right to call themselves the best team on the planet.

Speaking on the announcement, Mohammed Abdulla Hazzam Al Dhaheri, spokesperson for the FIFA Club World Cup UAE Local Organising Committee, said the showpiece will offer Abu Dhabi the opportunity to, once again, demonstrate its capacity to hold world-class sporting events.

He said: “Our city has a proven successful track record of hosting major sports events in recent years, while prioritising the highest health and safety standards. Fans in the Emirates and beyond are set to enjoy an incredible tournament with world-class football.

“Through working closely with FIFA, we are sure everyone will enjoy watching a memorable tournament and new pages of the beautiful game’s history written in our city.”

The tournament was moved to the UAE back in October 2021 after original hosts Japan withdrew in September due to concerns over rising COVID-19 cases in the country.
