If you're up for a road trip, it takes about 5 hours to travel from Bahrain (where you can legally drink) to Riyadh. Alternatively, you could consider flying in and out from there for games, if they are located further away. Expensive tho.

Jeddah confirmed as the host city. It will be held in two venues in one city.

I think you can in the Embassy (no, it’s not a club or hotel; the actual National embassy).

Well, they also play the Euros and its equivalents every fourth year, so it adds up. FIFA world cup, euros and FIFA club world cup.
Not much time during the summer for vacation and recovery. For PL-players, with no winterbreak, it could be tough.

It’s not much of one admittedly but the two week winter break for Premier League clubs is back on from next season.

You going? It would be a new country tick and two new grounds for me.

Obviously hoping to see us officially crowned "best club in the world" to confirm my long held suspicion.

My plan is to go yes. Not a place I would bother with on a normal basis with no booze but its got to be done.

As a starter the Ginger Prince might not be. He has publicly stated players are not machines and are playing to many games.

Don't think he'll be too enamoured with the location after his experience of the Qatar World Cup. The desert is no place for a Ginger.

They are using 2 grounds, both will be evening Gulf Standard Time on separate days, and likely use both grounds.

So one semi final on Tuesday one Wednesday and the final on the Friday. I’m half thinking of going work holidays depending.
