Soccer: Club World Cup, Summary and Data

Information about the Club World Cup with the last 10 winners of the competition, the teams with the most trophies won in the history of the tournment and an index to every final played.

The FIFA Club World Cup (formerly the FIFA Club World Championship) is a soccer competition contested between the leading clubs from all 6 continental confederations. In its current format (since 2025) it is played every 4 years and includes 32 teams.

The first competition took place in Brazil in January 2000. It was intended by FIFA to be a replacement for the Intercontinental Cup, which was contested annually in Tokyo, Japan, by the champions of Europe and South America.

The tournament was not universally popular, but nevertheless a second edition was pencilled in for Spain in 2001, to feature 12 teams. This was cancelled due to a combination of factors, most importantly the collapse of FIFA's marketing partner ISL. It was then intended to hold the event in 2003, but this also failed to happen. FIFA eventually agreed terms with the Toyota Cup to merge the two competitions, with the first installment of the relaunched Club World Championship held in Japan.

Starting in 2025, the tournament underwent substantial changes: it was moved to every four years and the number of participants was expanded to 32 teams, each competing in a first round and then in a round of 16. These changes made the format similar to that of the World Cup for National Teams.
