FIFA Club World Cup: Who will Chelsea play, when are our fixtures and how to watch live? – Chelsea FC

Monterrey (Mexico) Representing North America, Central America and the Caribbean for a fifth time after beating fellow Mexicans Club America in a delayed CONCACAF Champions League final. Their best performance in the Club World Cup was in 2012, when they were knocked out in the semis by Chelsea, but defeated Al Ahly to finish third.

Pirae (Tahiti) A late addition to the roster in Abu Dhabi, Pirae have won the last two league titles in Tahiti but were nominated to represent Oceania by their continental federation after original qualifiers Auckland City had to withdraw from a second Club World Cup in a row, due to Covid travel restrictions in New Zealand.

Al Jazira (UAE) The local representatives from Abu Dhabi secured their third UAE Pro League title last season, topping the table by three points. It is their second appearance at a Club World Cup, having also entered as national champions when the UAE hosted the tournament in 2017.

Chelseas first match will be in the semi-finals, where we will meet the winner of the second of the second-round ties. That sees Al Hilal taking on whichever of Al Jazira or Pirae progress from the first round.

Depending on the results in the semi-finals, the Blues will then face one of Palmeiras, Monterrey and Al Ahly in either the final or the third-place play-off three days later.
