The draw for the FIFA Club World Cup was made on Thursday in Abu Dhabi, with Manchester United and England legend Sir Bobby Charlton leading proceedings.

Manchester United and England legend Sir Bobby Charlton attended the lengthy draw, and drew the three teams who will play in the competition's early stages - Mexico's Atlante FC, South Korea's Pohang Steelers and Democratic Republic of Congo's TP Mazembe.
