Draw is made for the 2014 Fifa Club World Cup in Morocco

The winner of the 2014 African Champions League final between AS Vita Club of Democratic Republic of Congo and Algeria's Entente Setif will face a qualifier in the quarter-final of the Fifa Club World Cup in Morocco in December.

The African champions will take on the winner of the play-off between Moghreb Athletic de Tetouan of the host nation Morocco and Auckland City FC of New Zealand.

The winners will then play San Lorenzo of Argentina in the last four.

The South Americans booked their semi-final spot after winning the Copa Libertadores.

The other quarter-final will see the Concacaf Champions League winners Cruz Azul of Mexico play either Western Sydney Wanderers of Australia or Saudi club Al Hilal who have still to play the final of the Asian Champions League.

The winners will then play Uefa Champions League holders Real Madrid in the semi-finals.

The December 10-20 tournament will be played at Rabat and Marrakech.

The Club World Cup will go ahead despite Moroccan authorities trying to have the 2015 Africa Cup of Nations, due to be staged in the country in January and February, postponed because of the Ebola epidemic.

Morocco is hosting the tournament for the second time after debuting last year when 2013 Uefa Champions League holders Bayern Munich lifted the trophy having beaten home side Raja Casablanca 2-0 in the final.

#1 Germany - 2018
An opening game loss to Mexico showed the vulnerability of the defending World Cup champions. However, Germany seemed to save themselves from the brink when, down a man, Toni Kroos scored against Sweden in stoppage time to snag a 2-1 victory in the second game.

But despite being heavily favored to grab three points against South Korea, Germany was unable to produce the result needed to get them through to the knockout round. South Korea’s Kim Young-Gwon scored in stoppage time to put his side in front, stunning the Germans as they pushed for a winner. Heung-Min Son then added a second late on to shock Germany 2-0.

The French had every right to expect a strong run in Asia, grouped with Denmark, Uruguay and Senegal.

Not only did Les Bleus fail to get out of their group, however, they failed to score a single goal as they were beaten by Senegal and Denmark, while drawing 0-0 with Uruguay.
#3 Brazil - 1966
Two-time defending champions Brazil were infamously kicked out of the 1966 tournament by Portugal in their final fixture, having lost their second outing 3-1 to Hungary.

Pele, fresh from being the target of continued fouls against Hungary and then by Portugal's Joao Morais, vowed to never to play in the World Cup again once the Selecao were eliminated from the groups, such was his frustration.

#4 Italy - 2010
Marcelo Lippi returned as Italy manager in 2010, four years after guiding the Azzurri to glory in the previous World Cup, confident that the same group of players would have a good chance of doing similar in South Africa.

Draws against Paraguay and New Zealand in their first two outings were followed by a 3-2 defeat in their meeting with Slovakia and Lippi's men were dumped out of the groups in last spot.

Lippi was replaced by Cesare Prandelli soon after.
#5 Spain - 2014
Spain had lifted the World Cup trophy in 2010 and tasted victory at the European Championships either side of their South Africa feat, making their demise in 2014 even more spectacular.

Their tournament was over after just two games; the Netherlands easing past Vicente del Bosque's side 5-1 and Chile then recording a 2-0 victory in the second match.
