Real Madrid, Man United, Barca, Others Are No Longer Club World Cup Winners
The FIFA Club World Cup has undergone a format change, introducing a single-event showdown with 32 clubs from six confederations. As a result, previous winners such as Real Madrid, Manchester United, and Barcelona will no longer be considered FIFA Club World Cup winners or world champions. Instead, they will be referred to as FIFA Intercontinental Champions. Only Chelsea, the winner of the 2025 edition, can claim the title of FIFA Club World Cup winner and world champion. The decision is based on the new, expanded format of the tournament, which debuted in 2025.
