FIFA’s Club World Cup may not be the actual World Cup, but it offers a mid-season tournament for some of the best football clubs across the most competitive confederations in the world. England’s Chelsea, Brazil’s Palmeiras, Mexico’s Monterrey, and other continental champions will participate in the event from February 3 to February 12 in Abu Dhabi.
Aside from breaking up the regular ebbs and flows of league play, the tournament can be used to try out new things. This year, FIFA intends to test out “limb-tracking technology,” something that “enables the real-time creation of three-dimensional visual representations of players’ skeletons.”
