When does the Club World Cup start this season?

The Club World Cup begins on December 12 although Manchester City, who are representing Europe as the Champions League holders, do not enter until the semi-final stage seven days later.
They will play the winner of the second round match between Mexican side Club Leon and Urawa Red Diamonds of Japan. City's potential final opponents are Al Ahly, Al Ittihad, Auckland City and Fluminense.
Winning the Club World Cup would give City four major trophies this year after they clinched the Premier League, Champions League and FA Cup last term.
Manchester City's injured midfielder Kevin De Bruyne was a surprise inclusion in the treble winners' squad for the FIFA Club World Cup on Wednesday.
"This tournament is very important, very prestigious. It's not easy to qualify for, nor to win. We miss just one trophy to finish the circle and win all the titles City can have," FIFA's website quoted Guardiola as saying.
"We will go there and prepare because for us it is a dream. The mood in the team is the best I can remember for many, many years."
