TheFIFA Club World Cup is an internationalassociation football competition organised by the Fédération Internationale de Football Association (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 between2001 and 2004 due to a combination of factors, most importantly the collapse of FIFA's marketing partnerInternational Sport and Leisure.[3] Following a change in format which saw the FIFA Club World Championship absorb theIntercontinental Cup, it was relaunched in 2005 and took its current name the season afterwards.[4]
The current format of the tournament, in use since the competition was revamped ahead of the2025 edition, features 32 teams competing for the title at venues within the host nation; 12 teams fromEurope, 6 fromSouth America, 4 fromAsia, 4 fromAfrica, 4 fromNorth, Central America and Caribbean, 1 fromOceania, and 1 team from the host nation. The teams are drawn into eight groups of four, with each team playing three group stage matches in around-robin format. The top two teams from each group advance to the knockout stage, starting with the round of 16 and culminating with the final.[1]
Spanish clubReal Madrid leads the table in most titles, most wins and most points.Auckland City have the most tournament appearances with twelve, whileAl Ahly have played the most matches (28), also holding the dubious record of the most losses with a total of fifteen. There are five teams which have won all of their games in the competition on the quest to their respective title or titles, those beingInternazionale,Manchester City,Milan,São Paulo (two wins each) andBayern Munich (four wins).
