FC Bayern’s clear favourite: betting odds for the Club World Cup 2021
In the 16 previous FIFA Club World Cups, a non-European club has won the prestigious trophy four times. All four winners (2x Corinthians, Porto Alegre & FC Sao Paulo) were from Brazil.
However, the Club World Cup in Europe has gained a little more prestige in recent years, which is why more and more top players are used. In the last seven years, the Champions League winner was successful.
Therefore, FC Bayern can be called a clear favourite. In theory, no other team can match the quality of Hansi Flick’s team.
However, the Bavarians seem enormously overplayed and therefore tired in 2021, additional competition in the form of the Club World Cup 2021 does not make these worries any less. The FCB could rotate and thus open the door to a sensation for the other teams.
The FIFA Club World Cup 2021 teams at a glance
Al Ahly Champions League winner in Africa
Ulsan Hyundai Champions League winner in Asia
FC Bayern Champions League winner in Europe
Al-Duhail Masters in Qatar (venue)
UANL Tigres Champions League winner in North / Central America
Palmeiras Sao Paulo / FC Santos Copa Libertadores winner
Nevertheless, the odds of the betting providers paint a clear picture, the path in Qatar undoubtedly only leads through FC Bayern.
The odds for a Bayern win is around 1.36. The two possible Brazilian teams, which are considered co-favourites, are already far behind with 6.00 and 9.00 respectively.
A team from Asia, North / Central America or Africa has never won the tournament. A bet on one of the representatives could make a lot of money, but the probability is also close to zero.
Bayern would win their second title after 2013/14 (2-0 vs. Raja Casablanca) if they won the Club World Cup in 2021. The record winner is Real Madrid with four titles ahead of FC Barcelona with three.

FIFA Club World Cup 2021: Date, Time & Place
As already mentioned, the FIFA Club World Cup 2021 starts on February 1st – actually. Because the game scheduled for that day between al-Duhail SC and Auckland City FC was scored for the team from Qatar because the Covid regulations in New Zealand made it impossible for Auckland to participate.
The Club World Cup 2021 will now start on February 4th with the two quarter-finals. The games will be played in the Ahmed bin Ali Stadium and the Education City Stadium. As usual in the World Cup venue, Qatar.
As already known, the European representative will enter the 2021 Club World Cup with the semi-finals. So this year the FC Bayern Munich, which on 7.2. participates in the well-known tournament for the second time.

The mode at the Club World Cup 2021
The rules at the Club World Cup 2021 are the same. After 90 minutes without a winner, the game goes into overtime, and if there is no winner here, a penalty shoot-out awaits.
The only exception to this is the games for fifth and third place because a winner does not necessarily have to be chosen. The health of the players in this tight schedule comes first.
In addition, a ban beyond the actual tournament is possible if a red card cannot be served at the Club World Cup in 2021.
And meanwhile, the VAR, which also comes into play at the Club World Cup, cannot be ignored anymore.
Surprise: fans admitted to the Club World Cup in 2021
In the current time anything but ordinary: fans will be allowed in the stadiums.
This makes the Fifa Club World Cup 2021 one of the few worldwide sports events at all where fans can be part of the action live. Except for individual NFL games or UFC events (in the Emirates), this is a rare sight.
However, FIFA requires a strict concept for purchasing tickets. Access is only permitted with a positive antibody test and negative antigen test. This is to take care of health.
