About 900 volunteers in New Jersey and New York are helping to put on the Club World Cup, part of a nationwide corps of nearly 9,000. FIFA volunteer management coordinator Vanessa Elver said about 68,000 people applied to be part of the tournament's unpaid staff.

The quarterfinals produced a staggering amount of drama, especially on the right side of the draw as Paris Saint-Germain faced Bayern Munich and Real Madrid dueled Borussia Dortmund in repeats of recent UEFA Champions League finals. It was the French and Spanish giants who triumphed over their German opponents.

The great news for footy fans is that sports streaming platform DAZN is set to broadcast all 63 matches of the FIFA Club World Cup free in almost every country, with coverage available in multiple languages. Existing DAZN subscribers or Freemium members can watch every game of the tournament as part of their current membership.
