The FIFA Club World Cup is an international men’s football tournamemt organised by the Fédération Internationale de Football Association (FIFA). The competition was first contested in 2000 as the FIFA Club World Championship.
It was not held from 2001 to 2004 due to a combination of factors. It returned in 2005 as an annual competition through 2023. Following the 2023 edition, the tournament was again revamped to a quadrennial competition starting in 2025.
The first FIFA Club World Championship took place in Brazil in 2000, during which year it ran in parallel with the Intercontinental Cup, a competition played by the winners of the UEFA Champions League and the Copa Libertadores, with the champions of each tournament both retroactively recognised by FIFA as club world champions in 2017.
In 2005, the Intercontinental Cup was merged with the FIFA Club World Championship, and in 2006, the tournament was renamed as the FIFA Club World Cup. The winner of the Club World Cup receives the FIFA Club World Cup trophy and a FIFA World Champions certificate.
