This prestigious trophy will be lifted for the first time next summer as FIFA introduces the new, expanded format of the competition across 11 U.S. cities, starting on Sunday, June 15.

"To those who hold this trophy, history belongs to you! You are witness to a moment in time that represents the pinnacle of club football, bestowed upon few but celebrated by many." - a quote inscribed in the trophy.

The revamped FIFA Club World Cup is set to commence in the summer of 2025, evolving into a biennial event thereafter. This new format will expand participation from seven clubs to 32, enhancing the competitive landscape of the tournament. 

In place of the annual model, a new Intercontinental Cup will be introduced, featuring the UEFA Champions League winners facing the playoff victors in the final. Real Madrid is set to participate in this year’s inaugural final, which will be hosted in Qatar.
