Manchester City midfielder Phil Foden has vowed that the team will do everything to win the Club World Cup.
The Citizens have been drawn in a relatively straightforward Group G and get their campaign underway on June 18th against Morocco’s Wydad AC, before facing UAE’s Al-Ain and Serie A’s Juventus.
Speaking with FIFA,COM, the England international stated that their goal is to become the first ever winners of the tournament.
“Speaking to a few of the lads, we’ve spoken about that – being the first on the trophy would be nice,” Foden said.
“So, that’s definitely the aim and, with the players that we have and the quality that we have in the team, I am pretty sure we’re more than capable of doing that.

“I feel that my personal goal would be just to enjoy it, compete against the best players and try to perform to the best of my ability. I think that’s me.”
Man City have a large following in the States and Foden is looking forward to playing in front of their fans, some of whom could be seeing them for the first time.
“Travelling over here to see games would be really difficult, so I’m sure they are going to be buzzing to see us up close.
“They’ll get to see us play a match, so yeah I’m really happy for them, and hopefully we can put on a performance and hopefully get the win for them.”
