Real Madrid is heavily favored in the Intercontinental Cup final against CF Pachuca. The game kicks off at 18:00 CET in Doha. SPORT1 explains where you can watch the game on TV, live stream and live ticker.
What was once the now bloated Club World Cup is now the Intercontinental Cup: a tournament for the winners of the six continental championship competitions. Real Madrid and CF Pachuca from Mexico will play the title winners in Doha on Wednesday.
Actually, the Intercontinental Cup is a game between the winner of the European Champions League, who is seeded, and the “survivor” of various play-offs and sub-cups.
Pachuca first prevailed against Copa Libertadores winners Botafogo (Brazil) in the “FIFA Derby of the Americas” – and then also defeated Al Ahly (Egypt) in the “FIFA Challenger Cup”, which was essentially the elimination game for the final. Previously there was the “FIFA Africa-Asia-Pacific Cup”, but before that there was a “FIFA Africa-Asia-Pacific play-off game”.
Real’s squad not only includes the recently injured Kylian Mbappé, but also many other superstars such as Vinicius Junior and Jude Bellingham.
Pachuca, winners of the CONCACAF Champions Cup for the national champions from North and Central America, are only given outsider chances.
No, the game will not be shown on free TV.
The game can be watched live on DAZN.
