Competitions
Official competitions
- The FIFA Club World Cup is a competition for club football teams. The Fédération Internationale de Football Association (FIFA) organizes the World Cup every year (annually). The tournament officially decides the world title. It is contested by the winner of that years AFC Champions League (Asia), CAF Champions League (Africa), CONCACAF Champions League (North America), Copa Libertadores (South America), OFC Champions League (Oceania), and UEFA Champions League (Europe), along with the host country's national champions. As required by the regulations (integrated to the statute), a representative from FIFA presents the winner with the FIFA Club World Cup trophy and with a FIFA World Champions certificate.
- The Intercontinental Cup (1960-2004) or European/South American Cup or Toyota Cup, was a football competition organized by UEFA and CONMEBOL. The competition was contested between the winners of the European UEFA Champions League and the South American Copa Libertadores. The cup was called the World Club Championship (de facto) until the first FIFA Club World Cup was held in 2000 (pilot edition). From 2005 the Intercontinental Cup was replaced by the FIFA Club World Cup. The FIFA Club World Cup also includes CONCACAF, AFC, CAF, and OFCwinners. In 2017 the FIFA Congress officially recognized all of them as club world champions (de jure) with the same status to the FIFA Club World Cup winners or FIFA World Champions.
The football experts agree that the Intercontinental Cup is the most fascinating football competition that ever existed thanks to the great balance in the field given by the lower economic gap of the time and rules on foreign players who gradually favored the European teams and weakened the South American teams; there are many sources and statistics that confirm this.
