The FIFA Club World Cup is an international association football competition organised by the Fédération Internationale de Football Association (FIFA), the sport's global governing body.[1] The championship was first contested as the FIFA Club World Championship in 2000.[2] It was not held between 2001 and 2004 due to a combination of factors, most importantly the collapse of FIFA's marketing partner International Sport and Leisure.[3] Following a change in format which saw the FIFA Club World Championship absorb the Intercontinental Cup, it was relaunched in 2005 and took its current name the season afterwards.[4]

The current format of the tournament involves seven teams competing for the title at venues within the host nation over a period of about two weeks; the winners of that year's edition of the Asian AFC Champions League, African CAF Champions League, North American CONCACAF Champions League, South American Copa Libertadores, Oceanian OFC Champions League and European UEFA Champions League, along with the host nation's national champion, participate in a straight knockout tournament.[1]
Pep Guardiola was the first manager to win the tournament on four occasions; he led Spanish club Barcelona to success in 2009 and 2011, coached German side Bayern Munich to victory in 2013, and won a fourth title with English club Manchester City to victory in 2023. He is also the first manager to win the tournament with three different clubs. Carlo Ancelotti has won three titles (once with Milan in 2007, twice with Real Madrid in 2014 and 2022), Zinedine Zidane has won two titles (in 2016 and 2017, both with Real Madrid), and eleven other managers have each won the competition once. Guardiola is the most recent manager to have won the FIFA Club World Cup, doing so with Manchester City in the 2023 edition.
