Club World Cup Group F gets underway tonight, with South Korean side Ulsan HD facing storied South African outfit Mamelodi Sundowns in one another’s curtain-raisers.
They will get underway shortly after Borussia Dortmund and Fluminese open proceedings in the group, playing at the Inter & Co Stadium, home of the MLS’ Orlando Pride.
The five-time K League champions Ulsan are still in the midst of their domestic campaign and currently sit nine points adrift of the top spot, held by Jeonbuk, with three matches left to play.
Their top scorer this campaign, Erick Farias, has eight goals to his name thus far.
Mamelodi are 18-time champions of the South African top flight, the eighteenth of which was clinched just four weeks ago.
Since then, they were pipped 3-2 in the two-legged CAF Champions League final by Pyramids FC of Cairo.
And they have caught the attention of group-mates Dortmund, whose sporting director Sebastian Kehl said: “It will be an interesting game; they are technically very good, and they are a really good team. We’re happy to play Sundowns; it’s a new challenge for us. We haven’t played a South African team for a long time.”
