The FIFA tournament which brings together the champions of the six continental confederations starts on Sunday, with South American champion Sao Paulo and European champion Liverpool the red-hot favorites to contest the final on Dec.18.

Both teams get a bye to the semifinals stage, with Sao Paulo facing the winner of Sunday's quarterfinal between African champion Al Ahly and Asian champion Al Ittihad.
