What's the format of the Club World Cup?
----------------------------------------
The tournament format works exactly the same as the FIFA World Cup, only for clubs.
The 32 teams have been divided into eight groups of four teams, with the top two teams in each group qualifying for the knockout stage.
The last-16 stage - the first single knockout round - then moves to the quarter-final, semi-final and then final. There is no third-place play-off between the two losing semi-final teams.
