The CWC consists of six continental club champions coming together in one location, with Saudi Pro League champions Al-Ittihad also involved to represent the host nation.

As UEFA Champions League winners, City enter the tournament at a later stage than most teams, and are clear favourites to go all the way.

They will be expected to face Copa Libertadores champions Fluminense in the showpiece final, with all 19 editions of the competition being won by Europeans (15) or South American champions (4).

RadioTimes.com has rounded up everything you need to know about Manchester City's participation at the Club World Cup 2023.
