Club World Cup Results

The FIFA Club World Cup features continental champions competing for global supremacy, with Real Madrid holding the record for most titles (5). Latest results and standings update during each December/February tournament window.

Madrid's modern dominance

Real Madrid have won five Club World Cups since 2014, including back-to-back titles in 2017 and 2018. Their 2022 final victory over Al-Hilal (5-3) featured a Vinícius Jr brace and Federico Valverde's rocket strike. Only Barcelona (3) and Bayern Munich (2) have multiple titles in the past 15 years.

South American frustration

Brazilian clubs Flamengo and Palmeiras lost the last two finals to European opponents. The Copa Libertadores champions last won in 2012 when Corinthians stunned Chelsea 1-0 in Yokohama. CONMEBOL sides now face an uphill battle against UEFA's financial muscle and deeper squads.

2025's expanded format chaos

Next year's 32-team edition will scatter fixtures across US cities, mimicking the 2026 World Cup. Expect group stage surprises when Champions League heavyweights face CONCACAF or AFC teams in summer heat. The new bracket could finally break Europe's 10-year stranglehold.
