Abu Dhabi: New Zealand’s Team Wellington have qualified for December’s Fifa Club World Cup after winning the Oceania Champions League for the first time on Sunday.

Mexico’s Guadalajara and Al Ain, who qualify as champions of the host country, have also already qualified and will be joined by the other winners of the top club competition in each of football’s continental confederations.
Liverpool and Club World Cup champions Real Madrid will face off in the European Champions League final next weekend but the winner of South America’s Libertadores Cup will not be known until November.
