So far the last club competition around the globe was called Club World Cup (which now is going to be completely destroyed) while from this year this would be known as Intercontinental Cup (as there are two tournaments that are pronounced the same, this one is not to be confused with the other). The structure is not changed at all so it stays exactly identical: the Champions league winners from the six continents would compete here. And today we have received the first 3 clubs that are going to participate at this debut event.
First one to have qualified this morning was the representative from Oceania - Auckland city while in the evening it was followed by Al Ain and Al Ahly (from Asian and African continent). As far as the strength is concerned, in total the trio of clubs from New Zealand, United Arab Emirates and Egypt have set an impressive result: gave 10 goals whilst in return they allowed their opponents to score (only) 1. Representatives from Europe together with the North, Central America and Caribbean confederation are going to be known next, and both of them will be familiar exactly one week later (on 01 June).
In December (as always) this fresh tournament would be staged and finalized on neutral place (which is yet to be determined).
