The FIFA Club World Cup, founded in 2000, is an international tournament organized by FIFA to determine the world’s top men’s football (soccer) club. The competition features champion clubs from each of FIFA’s six continental confederations—Union of European Football Associations (UEFA), South American Football Confederation (CONMEBOL), Asian Football Confederation (AFC), Confederation of African Football (CAF), Confederation of North, Central American, and Caribbean Association Football (CONCACAF), and Oceania Football Confederation (OFC)—and a club from the host country. The 2025 tournament is taking place June 14 to July 13 in the United States.
The tournament was initially called the FIFA Club World Championship and was not held from 2001 to 2004 because of financial issues. It was relaunched in 2005 and renamed the FIFA Club World Cup in 2006. The tournament was held annually until 2023. In 2022 FIFA president Gianni Infantino announced that the Club World Cup, traditionally featuring 6 to 8 teams, would expand into a 32-team, quadrennial tournament, starting in 2025.
The table below provides a list of FIFA Club World Cup champions.
