Defending champions Barcelona did not qualify as they were eliminated in the semi-finals of the 2009–10 UEFA Champions League by eventual champions Internazionale. African representatives TP Mazembe of DR Congo defeated South America's Internacional of Brazil in the semi-finals to become the first team from outside Europe or South America to reach a Club World Cup final.[1] However, Mazembe were unable to pass the final hurdle, as they lost 3–0 to Internazionale in the final.[2] It was Inter's third world title, having won the Club World Cup's predecessor – the Intercontinental Cup – in 1964 and 1965.[2]
Host bids
The FIFA Executive Committee appointed the United Arab Emirates as hosts for the 2009 and 2010 tournaments on 27 May 2008 during their meeting in Sydney, Australia.[3][4] Other countries that placed bids were Australia and Japan. Portugal had initially placed a bid, but later withdrew from the process.[5]

Matches
A draw was held on 27 October 2010 at the FIFA Headquarters in Zurich, Switzerland to decide the matchups for the two quarter-finals.[7]
If a match was tied after normal playing time, 30 minutes of extra time would be played. If still tied after extra time, a penalty shoot-out would be held to determine the winner. However, for the fifth-place and third-place matches, no extra time would be played, and if tied the match would go straight to a penalty shoot-out to determine the winner.[8]
