The2011 FIFA Club World Cup (officially known as theFIFA Club World Cup Japan 2011 presented by Toyota for sponsorship reasons) was afootball tournament that was played from 8 to 18 December 2011.[1] It was the eighth edition of theFIFA Club World Cup, aFIFA-organised tournament between the winners of the six continental confederations as well as the host nation's league champions.
After theUnited Arab Emirates hosted the tournament in2009 and2010, hosting rights for the 2011 edition returned to Japan.[2][3] During a visit to Japan on 23 May 2011,FIFA PresidentSepp Blatter confirmed that Japan would remain as hosts of the tournament despite the2011 Tōhoku earthquake and tsunami.[4]
