Real Madrid are eyeing to extend their record of Club World Cup wins ahead of their meeting with Al-Hilal in the final on Sunday.

Real Madrid are the most successful team in the Club World Cup, having won the trophy four times. They'll enter the final against Saudi Arabian club Al-Hilal as the favorites.

Having a slow La Liga season, Los Blancos recently suffered a shocking 1-0 loss at Mallorca, but they bounced back from it to thrash Al Ahly 4-1 in the Club World Cup semi-final earlier this week.

Meanwhile, Al-Hilal, who are two points behind Cristiano Ronalo's Al-Nassr in the Saudi Pro League, claimed a thrilling 3-2 win over Brazilian club Flamengo in the other last-four fixture at the Club World Cup and will look to create an upset in the final.

When and where will the final take place?

The Club World Cup 2023 final will be played on Saturday. It will be played at the Prince Moulay Abdellah Stadium in Rabat, Morocco – the same stadium where Los Blancos defeated Al Ahly in the semi-final.

When will the match begin and where to watch it?

The Club World Cup final kick-off is scheduled for 2 p.m. ET.
