Learn about the evolution of the FIFA Intercontinental Cup, from its storied beginnings in 1960 to its modern revival in 2024.
For over four decades, the original Intercontinental Cup brought together the champions of Europe and South America, creating one of the most iconic rivalries in club football. The tournament set the foundation for global club competitions and celebrated football excellence across continents.
Expanding on the Intercontinental Cup’s legacy, FIFA introduced the Club World Cup in 2000, inviting champions from all major footballing regions. Hosted twice by Qatar in 2019 and 2020, the tournament paved the way for a truly global competition that will expand further in 2025.
Returning to its roots with a refreshed format, the FIFA Intercontinental Cup 2024 unites champions from Europe, South America, North America, and Africa in an exciting knockout tournament in Qatar. This revival honours the tournament’s history while embracing a global vision for club football.
