Information about the Club World Cup 2019
The Club World Cup title is awarded to the world champions in club football which involves the league champions of the host nation and the six winners of continental confederations. Between 1960 and 2004, CONMEBOL and UEFA played out the Intercontinental Cup where the Copa Libertadores and Champions League winners faced off in a one-off final match. The Club World Cup came into being back in the year 2000 although the second edition was only played in 2005.
This year, the tournament will be hosted by Qatar which will also host the 2020 edition along with the upcoming 2022 FIFA World Cup. The 2020 Club World will be the last one in the present format since FIFA will revamp the same for the tournament edition played from 2021 onwards and the pool may be increased to accommodate 24 teams as well.
