Pachuca will get their FIFA Club World Cup campaign underway against RB Salzburg at TQL Stadium on Wednesday. They are drawn alongside Real Madrid and Al Hilal in Group H.
Tuzos will play for the fifth time in the competition. They last played in the 2017 edition and secured a third-place finish. They have won just one of their last five competitive games and lost 2-0 to Club America in the Liga MX Apertura in May. They met Al Ahly in a friendly earlier this month, and after the score ended 1-1 in regulation time, they won 5-3 on penalties.
Die Roten Bullen will make their debut in the competition in this edition. They concluded their 2024-25 campaign on a two-game winning streak, including a 4-2 win over Rapid Vienna in May.
