Clubs from across the globe have competed in the FIFA Club World Cup over the last 25 years, with the latest edition featuring giants from all six of world soccer’s governing confederations.
The first-ever Club World Cup, then known as the FIFA Club World Championship, kicked off in Brazil in 2000. The tournament featured teams from around the world, all competing to become the “best” club across the entire sport.
The competition took a five-year break and then was once again contested in 2005. From there on out, the Club World Cup became an annual tournament dominated by the reigning UEFA Champions League winners.
