The 2011 FIFA Club World Cup (officially known as the FIFA Club World Cup Japan 2011 presented by Toyota for sponsorship reasons) was a football tournament that was played from 8 to 18 December 2011. [1] It was the eighth edition of the FIFA Club World Cup, a FIFA-organised tournament between the winners of the six continental confederations as well as the host nation's league champions.

After the United Arab Emirates hosted the tournament in 2009 and 2010, hosting rights for the 2011 edition returned to Japan. [2] [3] During a visit to Japan on 23 May 2011, FIFA President Sepp Blatter confirmed that Japan would remain as hosts of the tournament despite the 2011 Tōhoku earthquake and tsunami. [4]

Defending champions Internazionale did not qualify as they were eliminated in the quarter-finals of the 2010–11 UEFA Champions League. The eventual winners of that competition, Spanish club Barcelona, went on to win the Club World Cup, winning 4–0 in the semi-finals against Qatari club Al-Sadd before another victory by the same margin against Brazilian club Santos in the final. [5] [6]

Host bids

Tournament host bids for both 2011 and 2012 FIFA Club World Cups were announced on 27 May 2008 during their meeting in Sydney, Australia. [2] [3]
