Real Madrid now know who they face in their bid to become world champions for the eighth time in their history.

Following the draw held at the Mohammed VI Football Academy in Sal (Rabat), Real will play the semi-finals on Wednesday 8th February at 8.00 pm CET against Al Ahly, who beat Seattle Sounders in the previous round.

The final of the Club World Cup will take place on Saturday 11 February (8.00 pm CET). The match for third and fourth place will be played on the same day (4:30 pm CET). Real Madrid will play both matches at the Prince Moulay Abdellah Stadium in Rabat.

Real chief Emilio Butragueno commented: "It's always a pleasure to play in this competition because to qualify you have to win the Champions League and that's a side effect of the team's great success last season.

"We have a lot of fans in Morocco. When we played the Club World Cup in Marrakech we felt the warmth of the public, we were able to win the title and we are convinced that they will be supporting us again to see if we can win again."
