World Cup 2022 Fixture Dates, Kick-Off Times, Full Match Schedule, Teams Venues For Tournament

Having reached at least the final of every other cup he has entered while in charge of the club, it’s hard to see the German treating the 2022 Club World Cup as anything other than a priority, particularly given the collapse of their Premier League title challenge.

As Champions League winners, Chelsea will battle against the conquerors of other footballing continents for overall supremacy in the United Arab Emirates. Originally due to be held in Japan, the tournament was moved into the Middle East due to Covid concerns.
