Ulsan Hyundai FC and Al Ahly SC, the club champions of Asia and Africa respectively, have set foot in Qatar on Friday to take part in the 17th edition of the FIFA Club World Cup.
It was in Qatar that Ulsan Hyundai won the AFC Champions League title in December 2020 and after just over a month, they are back in Doha. They will enter the tournament in the second round and take on CONCACAF Champions League winners Tigres UANL from Mexico at the Ahmad Bin Ali Stadium.
On Ulsan's return to Qatar, head coach Hong Myung-bo said, “The players are pleased to be back in Qatar for the FIFA Club World Cup and are looking forward to training ahead of our match against Tigres.
