List of FIFA Club World Cup participants

Last updated

The FIFA Club World Cup is an international association football competition organised by the 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 between 2001 and 2004 due to a combination of factors, most importantly the collapse of FIFA's marketing partner International Sport and Leisure. [3] Following a change in format which saw the FIFA Club World Championship absorb the Intercontinental Cup, it was relaunched in 2005 and took its current name the season afterwards. [4]

Contents

The current format, in use since the competition was revamped ahead of the 2025 edition, features 32 teams competing for the title at venues within the host nation; 12 teams from Europe, 6 from South America, 4 from Asia, 4 from Africa, 4 from North, Central America and Caribbean, 1 from Oceania, 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 a round-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]

Debut of club teams

Each successive FIFA Club World Cup has had at least one club team appearing for the first time.
