From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The
FIFA Club World Cup is an international
association football competition organised by the
FIFA , the sport's global governing body.
[1] The championship was first contested as the FIFA Club World Championship in 2000.
[2] 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 .
[3] 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.
[4]
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 ,
CAF Champions League ,
CONCACAF Champions League ,
Copa Libertadores ,
OFC Champions League , and
UEFA Champions League , along with the host nation's national champion, participate in a straight
knock-out tournament .
