About our FIFA Club World Cup news
Latest news on Club World Cup, FIFA tournament featuring top global clubs, champions Chelsea, upcoming 2029 edition, and key developments.
The FIFA Club World Cup represents the pinnacle of club football, bringing together continental champions from across the globe. Chelsea claimed their second title in 2025, defeating Paris Saint-Germain 3-0 in the final at MetLife Stadium, New Jersey. The expanded 32-team format, introduced in 2025, transformed the tournament into a quadrennial spectacle featuring Europe's elite alongside powerhouses from South America, Asia, Africa, North America, and Oceania.
The tournament continues to evolve with multiple nations vying to host the 2029 edition. Brazil, Australia, Qatar and a joint Spain-Portugal-Morocco bid have all expressed interest, whilst the United States remains under consideration for a second consecutive hosting opportunity. Paris Saint-Germain have already secured qualification for 2029 as 2024-25 Champions League winners, with 31 spots remaining across the six confederations.
Originally established in 2000, the Club World Cup emerged from FIFA's vision to crown a true world club champion. The competition replaced the Intercontinental Cup, expanding beyond the traditional European-South American rivalry to include all confederations. The 2025 expansion marked a watershed moment, elevating the tournament's status and prize pool to $1 billion, in a bid to cement its position as football's premier club competition alongside the Champions League and Copa Libertadores.
