What is the FIFA Club World Cup?

The Club World Cup is an international cup competition in men's soccer that is designed to bring the champions of various regions of the world together in a showpiece tournament.

The tournament usually involves seven teams — winners of the European, Asian, South American, North American, Oceania, and African Champions Leagues as well as the champions from the host nation's domestic league.

Liverpool of the Premier League are the current holders of the Club World Cup with La Liga's Real Madrid being the tournament's most successful side with four titles.

German champions Bayern Munich earned their Club World Cup berth by winning the UEFA Champions League last term. They'll be hoping to notch a second Club World Cup victory this year.

Palmeiras only just lifted the 2020 Copa Libertadores trophy after seeing off fellow Brazilian side Santos in the final on January 30.

Egyptian team Al Ahly will represent Africa in this year's Club World Cup, earning their spot after defeating rivals Zamalek 2-1 in the CAF Champions League final back in November 2020.

The hidden cost of food delivery

Noah Lichtenstein Contributor Share on Twitter Noah Lichtenstein is the founder and managing partner of Crossover , a diversified private technology fund backed by institutional investors, technology execs and professional athletes and entertainers. More posts by this contributor What Studying Students Teaches Us About Great Apps I’ll admit it: When it comes to food, I’m lazy. There are dozens of great dining options within a few blocks of my home, yet I still end up ordering food through delivery apps four or five times per week. With the growing coronavirus pandemic closing restaurants and consumers self-isolating, it is likely we will see a spike in food delivery much like the 20% jump China reported during the peak of its crisis.

Slack’s new integration deal with AWS could also be about tweaking Microsoft

Slack and Amazon announced a big integration late yesterday afternoon. As part of the deal, Slack will use Amazon Chime for its call feature, while reiterating its commitment to use AWS as its preferred cloud provider to run its infrastructure. At the same time, AWS has agreed to use Slack for internal communications. Make no mistake, this is a big deal as the SaaS communications tool increases its ties with AWS, but this agreement could also be about slighting Microsoft and its rival Teams product by making a deal with a cloud rival. In the past Slack CEO Stewart Butterfield has had choice words for Microsoft saying the Redmond technology giant sees his company as an “existential threat.” Whether that’s true or not — Teams is but one piece of a huge technology company — it’s impossible not to look at the deal in this context. Aligning more deeply with AWS sends a message to Microsoft, whose Azure infrastructure services compete with AWS. Butterfield didn’t say that of course
