Ghana defender Harrison Afful will get the chance to face Spanish giants Barcelona if his club Esperance beat Al Sadd in the quarter-finals of the 2011 Club World Cup (CWC) in Japan next month.

This comes after the draw for the tournament was held in Nagoya on Thursday.

The semi-finals of the CWC will be played in Yokohama on 15 December.

The two quarter-final matches will be held in Toyota on 11 December.

The Club World Cup runs between 08-18 December in Japan.

Esperance qualifed for the Club World Cup on Saturday after winning the African Champions League title.

Ghanaian defender Harrison Afful got the only goal of the tie as the Tunisians overcame Wydad Casablanca 1-0 on aggregate to claim the continental crown.
