MARRAKESH, Morocco (Reuters) - South American champions San Lorenzo were going to complain to FIFA on Tuesday over a match schedule change they feel will leave their Club World Cup semi-final pitch “a mess”.

The change has Real Madrid playing their semi-final against CONCACAF champions Cruz Azul in Marrakesh rather than in Rabat the day before the Saints meet Oceania’s Auckland City at the same venue.
