About 900 volunteers in New Jersey and New York are helping to put on the Club World Cup, part of a nationwide corps of nearly 9,000. FIFA volunteer management coordinator Vanessa Elver said about 68,000 people applied to be part of the tournament's unpaid staff.

The quarterfinals produced a staggering amount of drama, especially on the right side of the draw as Paris Saint-Germain faced Bayern Munich and Real Madrid dueled Borussia Dortmund in repeats of recent UEFA Champions League finals.

This summer’s revamped Club World Cup, featuring top clubs from across the globe based on performances over the past four years - and expanded from seven to 32 teams - was designed to inject fresh prestige into a once-overlooked tournament.
