Chelsea and Manchester City are gearing up for their opening games at the Club World Cup with Real Madrid and Champions League winners Paris Saint-Germain among the favourites
FIFA's expanded, expensive and heavily criticised Club World Cup gets underway this weekend with 32 teams battling out for a top prize of £100m at the end of a season that has already left the dozen European teams exhausted.
But it is not just about those big names with sides from Africa, Asia and the Middle East keen to see how they can fare against more familiar faces across the next month in matches across 11 different cities in the United States.
And for all the gripes around travel, playing load and unsold tickets, it is hard to dispute FIFA's attempts to make it a truly global competition with 20 different countries and six different federations represented as Chelsea and Manchester City fly the flag for the Premier League.
Here is your full guide to the participants in both groups and confederation split.
The groups
Group A Palmeiras, Porto, Al Ahly, Inter Miami
Group B Paris Saint-Germain, Atletico Madrid, Botafogo, Seattle Sounders
Group D Flamengo, ES Tunis, Chelsea, Los Angeles FC
Group F Fluminense, Borussia Dortmund, Ulsan HD FC, Mamelodi Sundowns
