FIFA is implementing a new feature for the players' entrance onto the field in the Club World Cup matches.
In the style of the NBA, the athletes are announced in the stadium and called onto the field one by one.
This presentation format was already put into practice in the opening match of the tournament, between Inter Miami and Al Ahly.
The last to step onto the pitch was Lionel Messi, who was cheered on by the stands of the Hard Rock Stadium.
Watch:
The MetLife Stadium, the stadium that hosts Palmeiras' debut in the World Cup this Sunday, has also tested the novelty, with the names of Verdão's players being announced.
