List of FIFA Club World Cup finals - wikipedia List of FIFA Club World Cup finals List of FIFA Club World Cup finals Founded 2000 Region International ( FIFA ) Number of teams 7 ( total ) 2 ( finalists ) Current champions Real Madrid ( 3rd title ) Most successful club ( s ) Barcelona Real Madrid ( 3 titles each ) 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. The championship was first contested as the FIFA Club World Championship in 2000. 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. Following a change in format which saw the FIFA Club World Championship absorb the Toyota Cup, it was relaunched in 2005 and took its current name the season afterwards. 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. Barcelona and Real Madrid hold the record for most victories, winning the competition three times each since its inception. Teams from Spain have won the tournament the most times, with six winners produced from that nation. The Union of European Football Associations ( UEFA ) is the most successful confederation of the competition with ten titles earned by six of its clubs. The current champions are Real Madrid, who were defending champions and won their third title, following a 1 -- 0 win against Grêmio in the 2017 FIFA Club World Cup Final at the Zayed Sports City Stadium in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates.

The first final of the competition was an all - Brazilian affair, as well as the only one which saw one side have home advantage. Vasco da Gama could not take advantage of its local support, being beaten by Corinthians 4 -- 3 on penalties after a 0 -- 0 draw in extra time. The second edition of the competition was planned for Spain in 2001, and it was supposed to feature 12 clubs. However, it was canceled on May 18, due to a combination of factors, most importantly the collapse of FIFA 's marketing partner International Sport and Leisure. FIFA agreed with Toyota to merge the Toyota Cup and Club World Championship into one event. The 2005 edition saw São Paulo pushed to the limit by Saudi side Al - Ittihad to reach the final. In the final, one goal from Mineiro was enough to dispatch English club Liverpool ; Mineiro became the first player to score in a Club World Cup final. Internacional defeated defending World and South American champions São Paulo in the 2006 Copa Libertadores finals in order to qualify for the 2006 tournament. At the semifinals, Internacional beat Egyptian side Al - Ahly in order to meet Barcelona in the final. One late goal from Adriano Gabiru allowed the trophy to be kept in Brazil once again. It was in 2007 when Brazilian hegemony was finally broken : AC Milan disputed a close match against Japan 's Urawa Red Diamonds, who were pushed by over 67,000 fans at Yokohama 's International Stadium, and won 1 -- 0 to reach the final. In the final, Milan defeated Boca Juniors 4 -- 2, in a match that saw the first player sent off in a Club World Cup final : Milan 's Kakha Kaladze from Georgia at the 77th minute. Eleven minutes later, Boca Juniors ' Pablo Ledesma would join Kaladze as he too was sent off. The following year, Manchester United would emulate Milan by beating their semifinal opponents, Japan 's Gamba Osaka, 5 -- 3. They saw off Ecuadorian club LDU Quito 1 - 0 to become world champions in 2008. Barcelona dethroned World and European champions Manchester United in the 2009 UEFA Champions League final to qualify for the 2009 edition of the Club World Cup. Barcelone beat Mexican club Atlante in the semifinals 3 -- 1 and met Estudiantes in the final. After a very close encounter which saw the need for extra-time, Lionel Messi scored from a header to snatch victory for Barcelona and complete an unprecedented sextuple. The 2010 edition saw the first non-European and non-South American side to reach the final : Congo 's Mazembe defeated Brazil 's Internacional 2 -- 0 in the semifinal to face Internazionale, who beat South Korean club Seongnam Ilhwa Chunma 3 -- 0 to reach that instance. Internazionale would go on to beat Mazembe with the same scoreline to complete their quintuple. In 2011, Barcelona would once again show its class after winning their semifinal match 4 -- 0 against Qatari club Al - Sadd. In the final, Barcelona would repeat its performance against Santos ; this is, to date, the largest winning margin by any victor of the competition. The 2012 edition saw Europe 's dominance come to an end as Corinthians traveled to Japan to join Barcelona in being two - time winners of the competition. In the semifinals, Al - Ahly managed to keep the scoreline close as Corinthians ' Paolo Guerrero scored to send the Timão into their second final. Guerrero would once again come through for Corinthians as the Timão saw off English side Chelsea 1 -- 0 in order to bring the trophy back to Brazil. List of finals The International Stadium Yokohama in Japan has played host to the FIFA Club World Cup final the most times with six title - deciding matches held. Along with the Estádio do Maracanã, they are the only venues in the world to have hosted both the FIFA World Cup final and the FIFA Club World Cup final ( International Stadium Yokohama hosted the 2002 FIFA World Cup Final while the deciding match of the 1950 FIFA World Cup was disputed at the Maracanã ).
