Real Madrid vs Al Hilal will take place at the Hard Rock Stadium , located in Miami Gardens , Florida .
Hard Rock Stadium is a multi-purpose stadium, home to the Miami Dolphins of the National Football League and the Miami Hurricanes, the University of Miami's NCAA Division I college football team.
It has been a turbulent build-up to the tournament for Real Madrid with highly-decorated coach Carlo Ancelotti leaving the club at the end of the season.
He was appointed manager of Brazil and replaced by Bayer Leverkusen boss Xabi Alonso, who signed a three-year contract and will now bid to guide Los Blancos to FIFA Club World Cup glory.
The La Liga and Champions League titles eluded Madrid during the 2024-25 campaign but Alonso has the immediate opportunity to restore them as a trophy-winning force.
Previous XI : Lunin, Vazquez, Tchouameni, Garcia, Raul, Modric, Ceballos, Guler, Valverde, Mbappe, Diaz
Al Hilal finished runners up to champions Al Ittihad in this season's Saudi Pro League.
At the end of the campaign they appointed Simone Inzaghi as their new head coach following his departure from Inter Milan.
The Italian will aim to take Al Hilal out of the group stages and into the knockout stages of the Club World Cup.
Previous XI : Bono, Al Dawsari, Tambakti, Koulibaly, Lodi, Neves, Al Dawsari, Kanno, Al Dawsari, Milinkovic-Savic, Mitrovic
