What is the Club World Cup?
The FIFA Club World Cup is an international club soccer tournament organised by FIFA, the same organisation responsible for the major international soccer tournament. Although it’s not new by any means, the tournament has been updated for 2025, and will now feature more teams, more prize money and bigger and more exciting matches.
Previous tournaments have been contested between the winners of the continental club competitions such as the UEFA Champions League (Europe), the Copa Libertadores (South America), the AFC Champions League (Asia), the OFC Champions League (Oceania), the CAF Champions League (Africa) and the CONCACAF Champions League (North and Central America).
However, the expanded tournament will feature multiple slots for each confederation, meaning teams will also enter based on their past performances and current rankings. The format of the competition has also changed, introducing a group stage.
History of the Club Competition
Although previous attempts had been made to hold a Football World Championship, including an 1887 match between FA Cup winners Aston Villa and Scottish Cup winners Hibernian, it wasn’t until 1909 that a global club football tournament was arranged. The Sir Thomas Lipton Trophy was contested by teams from across Europe and won by the English amateur soccer team West Auckland.
In 1951, the Brazilian FAQ set up the Copa Rio, also known as the World Champions Cup. However, many of the most renowned European clubs declined to participate and therefore, it didn’t garner as much attention from the world press.
In 1960, the first Intercontinental Cup was held, featuring Real Madrid as the winners of the European Cup and Peñarol as winners of the Copa Libertadores. Real Madrid won the tie and declared themselves world champions. However, FIFA objected, as only European and South American teams were able to compete for the trophy.
In 1999, FIFA accepted that every football confederation has a stable continental tournament and felt it was the right time to introduce a Club World Championship event. The inaugural tournament was held in Brazil and featured two Brazilian clubs (Corinthians and Vaco da Gama), a Premier League side (Manchester United), a Liga MX team (Necaxa), a Moroccan club (Raja CA), a team from La Liga (Real Madrid), a Saudi club (Al-Nassr) and an Australian team (South Melbourne).
The very first Club World Cup featured an all-Brazilian final, which was won by Corinthians. Since then, there have been 12 champions. Real Madrid hold the record as the most successful club with 5 titles, and Spain is the most successful country with a total of 8 titles.
Format & Structure of the 2029 FIFA Club World Cup
The 2029 FIFA Club competition will feature 32 of the elite club teams from around the globe. Moving away from the old annual knockout style, this premier quadrennial tournament utilises a group stage format to determine the true world champion.
The 32 participating teams are divided into 8 groups of 4. Qualification is based on a 4 year cycle, rewarding the continental champions and the highest-ranked sides from each confederation:
UEFA: 12 slots
CONMEBOL: 6 slots
AFC: 4 slots
CAF: 4 slots
CONCACAF: 4 slots
OFC: 1 slot
Host Nation: 1 slot
The Path to the Trophy
The tournament structure is designed to mirror the excitement of the international soccer tournament:
Group Stage: Each team plays their 3 group opponents once.
Round of 16: The top 2 teams from each group advance to the knockout phase.
Knockout Rounds: From the Round of 16 through to the Final, teams compete in single-elimination matches. There is no second leg - it’s win or go home, making for high-stakes betting.
2029 Club World Cup Schedule
The 2029 tournament is scheduled to be a month-long summer spectacle, held between June and July. While FIFA will confirm the specific match calendar and host nation closer to the event, the tournament follows this established window:
Mid-June: Opening Match & Group Stage Begins
Late June: Group Stage Concludes
Early July: Round of 16 & Quarterfinals
Mid-July: Semifinals & Third-Place Play-off
Mid-July: FIFA Club World Cup Final
Unlike the annual Intercontinental Cup, the UEFA and CONMEBOL giants do not get a bye to the final. They must navigate the group stages, which significantly increases the volume of matches and betting opportunities throughout the month.
