The 2011 FIFA Club World Cup took place in Toyota and Yokohama, Japan, from 8 December to 18 December 2011. The final 23-man squads had to be submitted by 28 November,[1] with all members of the final squad taken from a provisional list of 30 players.[2] All players were required to be registered with squad numbers between 1 and 23, unless they were registered for their domestic league with a different number. In the event of an injury to one of the players on the final list, that player could be replaced with a player from the provisional list no less than 24 hours before his team's first match in the competition. Santos released their preliminary squad on 29 October, which was cut down to 23 on 28 November.[3] Auckland City added their squad on 24 November.[4] Monterrey announced their 2011 FIFA Club World Cup squad on 30 November on their official website.[5]
