Club World Cup Action Heats Up: Complete TV and Streaming Guide for Today's Matches (June 19)
The opening round of matches has concluded at the restructured Club World Cup, and opinions remain divided on Gianni Infantino's ambitious project.
The quality of play on the field is undeniable, with South American teams shining in the early stages, yet vacant stadiums continue to dominate news coverage due to apparent limited local enthusiasm.
Nevertheless, the competition will press forward, and there's potential for this summer's tournament to gain momentum gradually. On that note, Group A saw no goals scored on the first matchday, meaning things can only improve as the second round of fixtures begins.
Additionally, Paris Saint-Germain return to action, making it essential viewing. Here's your guide to watching today's complete schedule unfold.
Club World Cup Schedule: Thursday, June 19
While Group A delivered a scoreless opening, both first matchday encounters provided plenty of excitement.
Most anticipated Lionel Messi would dominate the tournament's inaugural match, but surprisingly, fellow Inter Miami Argentine Oscar Ustari emerged as the hero for Javier Mascherano's squad in their deadlock against Al Ahly.
The Herons now face a challenging path to reach the knockout rounds, with Porto awaiting them next. The Portuguese side, meanwhile, relied heavily on an outstanding Cláudio Ramos goalkeeping display to secure a draw against Palmeiras in their previous outing.
The Brazilian club opens today's proceedings against Al Ahly at MetLife Stadium.
Action then shifts across the nation for Group B's second round of matches, where Atlético Madrid desperately needs three points following their crushing 4–0 loss to the European champions. Seattle Sounders will again enjoy home advantage at Lumen Field, though they couldn't capitalize on FIFA's favorable scheduling in their opener, falling 2–1 to Botafogo despite a late comeback attempt.
The Copa Libertadores champions entered with modest expectations, and their opening match was widely predicted as winnable. Now Botafogo faces their ultimate challenge against PSG in Pasadena. Luis Enrique's team will secure their round of 16 spot with a win.
