The Club World Cup began on December 12 although Manchester City, who are representing Europe as the Champions League holders, do not enter until the semi-final stage seven days later.
This is the first time the Sky Blues have played in this competition after winning their first Champions League trophy last campaign. Manchester City's injured midfielder Kevin De Bruyne was a surprise inclusion in the treble winners' squad for the FIFA Club World Cup on Wednesday.
"This tournament is very important, very prestigious. It's not easy to qualify for, nor to win. We miss just one trophy to finish the circle and win all the titles City can have," FIFA's website quoted Guardiola as saying.
