The FIFA Executive Committee decided on the 2005 Club World Cup on March 8, 2002, and the world governing body confirmed this decision a year later.

Compared to the first edition of 2000, there were changes in the mode of the event due to a reduction in the number of participants. From now on, the tournament was held in December each year with the winners of the six continental championship competitions at club level from Asia , Africa , the CONCACAF zone , South America , Europe and Oceania . Japan was chosen as the venue for the first draws. The tournament was played in a knockout system . A total of seven games took place in eight days. The teams from Europe and South America were seeded for the semi-finals and only played two games each. The other four teams determined the other two participants for the semi-finals in two quarter-finals.
