In this system, two points will be awarded for each win, one point for each draw and four points will be awarded for qualifying in the Group Stage.

FACTS NOT TO FORGET
It is important to note that in the event that the matches end in a tie, an extension of playing time called extra time will be played. If parity persists, the resolution will be determined through a penalty shootout. In addition, the team that wins the Club World Cup will receive a cash prize of USD 5.5 million.
THE LAST ONE AND WE'RE OFF
