With just over a month to go until this eagerly-anticipated contest between the Champions of the Northern and Southern Hemisphere, four-time winners Wigan will be looking for a record-equalling fifth World Club Challenge title, while the Panthers will be looking to claim their first win in four attempts - their most recent World Club Challenge loss being the dramatic golden-point defeat to St Helens in a memorable tie last year.
Wigan Warriors beat Catalans Dragons in the Betfred Super League Grand Final at Old Trafford, in a hard-fought 10-2 victory, whereas the Penrith Panthers saw off Brisbane Broncos 26-24 in an electrifying NRL Grand Final to earn their respective places in this World Club Challenge match.
The hotly-anticipated 'Clash of the Champions' will take place on Saturday 24 February, at the DW Stadium, and fans are advised to look out for further updates regarding this blockbuster event.
