The Club World Cup quarter-finals begin today with Fluminense and Al Hilal meeting at Camping World Stadium in Orlando, Florida.
These two teams making it to this stage of the tournament guarantees that at least one of the semi-finalists will a non-European team. They were involved in two of the shocks of the Club World Cup in the last 16; Al Hilal beat Manchester City in extra time and Fluminense took out Inter.
Today's winner will face either Palmeiras or Chelsea in the semi-final.

Camping World Stadium, Orlando, Florida
This afternoon marks the final time we will be in Orlando at this tournament.
Camping World Stadium opened before World War II, and it’s a huge stadium that is well known in the U.S. as a neutral site stadium for college football games. It has undergone several remodels and expansions that make the venue ideal for big concerts.
In that sense, it’s clear why FIFA picked Camping World Stadium as one of the stadiums that will host one of the tournament’s marquee games. Juventus versus Manchester City will have a U.S. summer tour feel to it. This time it’ll be, in theory, a meaningful match in which two European powers battle for first place in Group G.

Hello! And welcome along to The Athletic where it is quarter-final day at the Club World Cup.
I don't think there were many people expecting this first last-eight tie to be without a European team, but the exploits of Fluminense and Al Hilal mean that at least one of the semi-finals will feature a team from outside Europe.
Both of these teams will really fancy their chances of progressing given they both overcame the odds to get this far.
