	FIFA Club World Championship - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The FIFA Club World Cup is a football competition contested between the leading clubs from all 6 continental confederations.
		It was intended by FIFA to be a replacement for the Intercontinental Cup (also known as the Toyota Cup), which is contested annually in Tokyo, Japan by the champions of Europe and South America.
		FIFA eventually agreed terms with the Toyota Cup to merge the two competitions, with the first installment of the relaunched Club World Championship held in Japan between December 11 and December 18, 2005 with Brazilian team São Paulo winning the competition in a narrow one nil victory over UEFA Champions Liverpool.

	FIFA revamps Club World Championship
		FIFA President Sepp Blatter said in a statement that the new format was not only a solution to suit all parties, but also "an expression of solidarity in world football".
		On Tuesday the 102-strong European Club forum said it was totally opposed to the Club World Championship which was held for the first time in 2000 and cancelled in 2003 because of a lack of funding.
		"The clubs were vehement in rejecting proposals to re-launch the FIFA Club World Championship, recalling that they had advocated a reduction of Champions League fixtures in order to lighten the workload and that it would be incoherent to support any additional tournament," the forum said in a statement.

		The FIFA World Cup, won by Brazil for the first (and only) time in Europe (Sweden) in 1958, was by then wildly popular and the contest between the contrasting styles of nations from Europe and South America was the talk of the day.
		World class stars were rapidly emerging from these new footballing lands but, unlike Pele in 1962, those top players were disallowed from being able to pit their wits against those from European and South American clubs because of the exclusivity of the championship.
		Having seen the financial might of European club sides only increase at the end of the 20th century and with the goal of uniting and promoting the game fairly in the football world, FIFA had wrestled with the notion of including a multi-confederation club competition on the international match calendar for some time.

		If that match, which is not organized by FIFA, continues, then soccer runs the same risk as boxing and could end up with different clubs all claiming to be world champions.
