The 2016 FIFA Club World Cup (officially known as the FIFA Club World Cup Japan 2016 presented by Alibaba YunOS Auto for sponsorship reasons) [2] was the 13th edition of the FIFA Club World Cup, a FIFA-organised international club football tournament between the winners of the six continental confederations, as well as the host nation's league champions. [3] The tournament was hosted by Japan. [4]

Contents

This edition marked the second time and first since 2008 in which the CONMEBOL representative did not feature any clubs from Argentina or Brazil.

Barcelona could not defend their title as they were eliminated in the 2015–16 UEFA Champions League quarter-finals.

Real Madrid won their second Club World Cup, defeating hosts Kashima Antlers 4–2 after extra time in the final.

Host bids

The application process for the 2015–16 as well as the 2017–18 editions, i.e. two hosts, each hosting two years, began in February 2014. [5] Member associations interested in hosting had to submit a declaration of interest by 30 March 2014, and provide the complete set of bidding documents by 25 August 2014. [6] The FIFA Executive Committee was to select the hosts at their meeting in Morocco in December 2014. [7] However, no such decision regarding the 2015–2016 host was made until 2015.

The following countries expressed an interest in bidding to host the tournament: [8]

Japan was officially confirmed as hosts of the 2015 and 2016 tournaments on 23 April 2015. [4]
