European champions Bayern Munich will meet either Qatar's Al Duhail or Egyptian side Al Ahly in the semi-finals of FIFA Club World Cup Qatar 2020, after Tuesday's draw in Zurich.
Al Duhail and Al Ahly face each other in match three of the competition, which will be staged on Feb. 4.
Mexican side Tigres UANL have been drawn against South Korea's Ulsan Hyundai in match two, with the winners going on to face the winner of this year's Copa Libertadores between Brazilian sides Santos and Palmeiras in the other semi-final.
The 2020 edition of the tournament, which was originally scheduled for December, is now being held from Feb. 1-11 in Qatar and brings together continental champions from across the world.
Auckland City, who were originally scheduled to play Al Duhail, withdrew from the tournament last week due to the COVID-19 pandemic and quarantine measures required by New Zealand's authorities.
As a result, the Qatari side entered the tournament in the second round.
The two Club World Cup venues, Education City Stadium and Ahmed bin Ali Stadium, are among the eight being used at the 2022 World Cup in Qatar.
Europe’s champion has won the Club World Cup in 12 of the past 13 editions. Chelsea lost to Corinthians of Brazil in December 2012.
Today’s draw at the Home of FIFA in Zurich mapped out the road to global glory for the six clubs competing in the FIFA Club World Cup Qatar 2020.
Tigres UANL and Ulsan Hyundai FC will face each other in the first game scheduled for 4 February at 17:00 local time (15:00 CET) at Ahmad Bin Ali Stadium, while Al-Duhail SC and Al Ahly SC will feature in the second match at 20:30 (18:30 CET) at Education City Stadium.
The draw also revealed that the CONMEBOL Libertadores champions (to be crowned on 30 January) will take on the winners of Tigres UANL v. Ulsan Hyundai FC on 7 February, with FC Bayern Munich facing the winner of Al-Duhail SC v. Al Ahly SC a day later.
The FIFA Club World Cup 2020 champions will be crowned following the final at Education City Stadium on 11 February, with kick-off at 21:00 (19:00 CET).
