The FIFA Club World Cup is the official world championship for club football teams in which the winners of the six continental championship competitions in club football compete against each other. After a first attempt in Brazil in 2000, it has been regularly played towards the end of the year since 2005. It is considered the successor to the World Cup , which was limited to European and South American teams.
Seven clubs are eligible to start, in addition to the winners of the UEFA Champions League (Europe) and the Copa Libertadores (South America), the winners of the CAF Champions League (Africa), the AFC Champions League (Asia) and the CONCACAF Champions League (North and Central America) ) and the OFC Champions League (Oceania) as well as a team from the host country.
From 2005 to 2008, Japan was the host country. After that, the host country changed every two years. Since then, the hosts have been the United Arab Emirates, Japan and Morocco. Qatar has been chosen as the host for 2019 and 2020.
precursor
The Copa Rio, which was held only twice in the early 1950s, is considered to be the forerunner . Until the final establishment of the Club World Cup in 2005, the winner of the Copa Intercontinental , also known as the World Cup , played from 1960 to 2004 between the winners of the continental championship competitions from Europe and South America , was seen as the world 's best club team; In 2017, FIFA recognized the winners as club world champions.
There were similar comparisons between two continents with the Afro-Asian Cup between Africa and Asia and the Copa Interamericana between North and South America.
history
The first FIFA Club World Cup was held in Brazil in 2000.
Despite a participation bonus of 2.5 million US dollars and an additional 1.5 to 3.5 million US dollars for the first three places, the top European clubs fought against this additional burden in the already very tight international calendar in the following years. Only after long negotiations, the cancellation of the 2001 tournament and the discontinued planning for a tournament in 2003, club football, represented by the so-called G-14 , the Swiss Competition Commission (WEKO) and FIFA, agreed on the introduction in spring 2004 a modified tournament. Based on discussions with all contractual partners of the previous Toyota Cup , the FIFA Executive Committee, chaired by FIFA President Joseph Blatter, ratified the agreements reached on Monday, May 17, 2004 in Paris .
mode
The first Club World Cup was held with eight teams, which played against each other once in two groups of four. The group winners played the final against each other, the two second placed the game for third place.
In 2001 a tournament with twelve teams was planned in Spain. The teams should play against each other in three groups of four. The group winners, as well as the best runner-up, should play the semi-finals. However, this tournament was canceled for financial reasons.
The tournament has been played in the knockout system since 2005 . The two representatives from South America and Europe are set for the semi-finals. The teams from the other four confederations play off the two semi-final opponents in the quarter-finals. In addition to the final, 3rd place will be played between the two semi-final losers. 5th place is played between the two quarter-final losers. The 2007 event was an exception, when the game for fifth place was not played.
Due to the change of the Australian Football Association from the OFC to the AFC and the resulting lower playing strength of the OFC clubs, a rule change was decided in March 2007. Since then, the master of the host association has had a permanent place in the competition. He plays in a preliminary round against the representative of Oceania for a place in the quarter-finals. The teams from Asia, North America and Africa start in the quarter-finals. The teams from Europe and South America only join the tournament in the semi-finals. However, since only one team per member association is allowed to take part, in the event that a representative of the host country wins the continental cup of its confederation, the top-ranked club in the continental competition that does not belong to the organizing association will take part instead of the master of the host country. That was the case in 2007 and 2008 when Japanese teams won the AFC Champions League.
If a winner of the continental cup or the representative of the national champion does not belong to the relevant confederation, he will be replaced by the best placed team of the relevant confederation in the relevant competition.
