History of the Club World Cup: origins and the transition from the Intercontinental Cup
The Club World Cup is a FIFA tournament that began in 2005. It emerged when the Intercontinental Cup merged with the FIFA Club World Championship and was renamed the FIFA Club World Cup. The competition brings together the champions of the six FIFA confederations—UEFA, CONMEBOL, CONCACAF, AFC, CAF, and OFC. Since 2007, the reigning host nation’s champion has also taken part, enriching the field with a regional flavor alongside the continental winners.
