The FIFA Club World Cup is an international association football competition organised by the Fédération Internationale de Football Association ( FIFA). The championship was first contested as the FIFA Club World Championship in 2000. [1] It was not held between 2001 and 2004 due to a combination of factors, most importantly the collapse of FIFA's marketing partner International Sport and Leisure. [2] Following a change in format which saw the FIFA Club World Championship absorb the Intercontinental Cup, it was relaunched in 2005 and took its current name the season afterwards. [3]
The current format of the tournament involves seven teams competing for the title at venues within the host nation over a period of about two weeks; the winners of that year's edition of the AFC Champions League ( Asia), CAF Champions League ( Africa), CONCACAF Champions Cup ( North America), Copa Libertadores ( South America), OFC Champions League ( Oceania), and UEFA Champions League ( Europe), along with the host nation's national champion, participate in a straight knock-out tournament. [4]
This page details the records and statistics of the FIFA Club World Cup, a collection, organization, analysis, interpretation, and presentation of data pertaining to the tournament. As a general rule, statistics should ideally be added after the end of a FIFA Club World Cup edition.
