The FIFA Club World Cup, commonly referred to as the Club
World Cup, is an international association football competition organised by the
Fédération Internationale de Football Association (FIFA), the sport's global
governing body. The championship was first contested as the FIFA Club World
Championship in 2000. It was not held between 2001 and 2004. Since 2005, the
competition has been held every year, hosted so far by Brazil,
Japan, the United
Arab Emirates and Morocco.
The current format of the tournament involves seven teams competing for the
title at venues within the host nation over a period of about two weeks; the
winners of that year's AFC Champions League (Asia),
CAF Champions League
(Africa), CONCACAF Champions League (North America), Copa Libertadores (South
America), OFC Champions League (Oceania) and
UEFA Champions League (Europe),
along with the host nation's national champions, participate in a straight
knock-out tournament. The host nation's national champions dispute a play-off
against the Oceania champions, from which the winner joins the champions of
Asia, Africa and North America at the quarter-finals. The quarter-final winners
go on to face the European and South American champions, who enter at the
semi-final stage, for a place in the final.

Taking a deeper look at this topic, one can find that indeed as Mr. Manuel
Gabino mentions, the team flags are displayed during the games, as seen
here.
Esteban Rivera, 04 January 2014
After searching and watching some hours in Youtube videos on the Morocco 2013
FIFA Club World Cup, finally I managed myself to draw the flags used by the
seven teams took part in the event.
All seven emblems where got from FIFA.com. Take into account that the
Guangzhou Evergrande flag is a fan flag, but not the
club's official flag.

For most football clubs there are usually a wide range of unofficial flags
used by supporters, but these official flags are more important.
Elias Granqvist, 12 March 2014
Morocco organized the 2013 edition with the following participating clubs. The
flags are those hoisted in both stadiums at Agadir and Marrakech. The flags were
also carried before each mach when the team jump to the field.
The missing team is Guangzhou Evergrande from China, since I could never see a
reliable image of its flag, the better image shows a red and yellow field with
the team's crest in the middle.
Other flag I have not a good image is that of Team Monterrey, I just can't see
if the badge either bears the stars.

Some remarks:
- Maybe FIFA does not know about the official flag of
Club Atlético San Lorenzo
and likes to change the official ones, just like that of Real Madrid whose
emblem on the official flag is smaller than that presented by FIFA.
- It is the first time in all club world cup editions in which the team flags
match the image flags in the official TV "ribbons" for scores, line-ups,
standings, statistics, and so.
