Titles 4

Years Won: 2014, 2016, 2017, 2018.

Spanish giants Real Madrid is the only club with the most victories.

Real Madrid is the most successful team in the FIFA Club World Cup, with four titles. The Los Blancos lifted its first title in 2014 in a final Argentine Primera Division stronghold San Lorenzo by a 2-0 scoreline played at the Stade de Marrakech in Morocco.

 

However, Real Madrid could not defend its title as rivals Barcelona returned more decisive the following year to clinch its third title in 2015.

The club’s second title was lifted at the expense of Japanese side Kashima Antlers in a game that ended 2-2 after average regulation time. It took a brilliant comeback in extra time to dispatch a more determined Kashima Antlers set up to lift the trophy.

Barcelona was the first Spanish side to win the FIFA Club World Cup trophy in 2009. Although the Blaugrana had also ended up as runners up once in 2006 against Brazilian Série A side Internacional, the club still went on to win three trophies.

 

Barcelona endured a hard fighting Argentine side Estudiantes in the final, with regulation time ending in a 1-1 draw. The Catalans, however, came back stronger in extra time courtesy of a 110th-minute goal from club legend Lionel Messi.

 

Barca’s third title in 2015 was another remarkable moment in the club’s history after a smashing win over Copa Libertadores winners River Plate Argentine.

 

Corinthians

Years Won: 2000, 2012

Corinthians of Brazil became the first club to lift the FIFA Club World Cup in the inaugural edition in 2000 in an all Brazilian final against CR Vasco da Gama.

The FIFA Club World Cup is an annual football competition organised by FIFA for winners of all continental top tier Competitions, which has produced notable winners in the past and present.

 

The competition was solely created to crown a World Champion in club football related to the FIFA World Cup for national teams. It was designed as a replacement for the Intercontinental Cup, which used to be the world’s Premier football Competition for top clubs at the end of every calendar year.

 

The old Intercontinental Cup was contested by a team from Europe and South America, wholly ignoring teams from Africa (CAF), Asia (AFC), North America (CONCACAF), and Oceania (OFC).

I'm a sports enthusiast, love writing about football. I have been writing about top teams in Europe, the Premier League and La Liga.
