12:00 CET - Good afternoon and welcome back to our live coverage of the FIFA Club World Cup as we look ahead to an exciting second day at the new-look tournament!

Today's action gets underway a little later at 18:00 CET, with German giants Bayern Munich taking on fully amateur opposition Auckland City in Cincinnati.

Vincent Komany's side - who have advanced to the quarter-finals or beyond in five consecutive Champions Leagues since their last appearance in the Club World Cup - travel across the Atlantic on a high having just regained the Bundesliga title.

As for Auckland City (not to be confused with the fully professional Auckland FC in Australia's A-League) they're competing in a record 13th Club World Cup tournament. However, with only three wins from 17 matches at this stage (D2, L12), they tend to struggle against elite-level opposition. 

Following on from the Bayern vs Auckland City clash in Group C, Paris Saint-Germain face Atletico Madrid in a blockbuster Group B tussle at 21:00 CET, FC Porto take on Palmeiras at 00:00 CET and Botafogo come up against Seattle Sounders overnight at 04:00 CET.

Saturday, June 14th

23:30 CET - Good evening and welcome to our live coverage of the FIFA Club World Cup as the revamped tournament gets underway overnight, with Inter Miami coming up against Al Ahly at 02:00 CET.

It promises to be a fascinating opener in Miami, as both sides look to lay down an early marker in what should be an exciting inaugural group stage across a dozen American venues.

Javier Mascherano - who twice won the Club World Cup as a Barcelona player in 2012 and 2016 - leads Inter Miami in their first appearance in the tournament after winning the 2024 MLS Supporters’ Shield. 

They'll be looking to talisman Lionel Messi for inspiration, with the legendary Argentinian scoring five goals in as many Club World Cup games during his career - including three goals in finals.

As for Egyptian giants Al Ahly, they're making their 11th appearance in the competition, having qualified for this latest edition via three CAF Champions League triumphs since 2020/21.

While Jose Riveiro's side might not possess the same star power as many of the heavy-hitters in the tournament, a six-game run of domestic victories suggests they should be able to mix it with the elite.
