Final FIFA CLUB WORLD CUP 2020
IFFHS Club World Ranking Winner 2020 ,FC Bayern München, won the Club World Cup final in Qatar yesterday with a 1-0 victory over Mexico's Tigres.
Pavard's close-range tap-in was enough to give European champions Bayern their sixth title within the last 12 months.
This is the eighth year in a row that the Champions League winners have gone on to win the Club World Cup, as Bayern follow in the footsteps of last year's champions Liverpool.
Bayern are the second side in the History to win all six available titles within a year after Barcelona managed the feat in 2009.
Hansi Flick's men had already won the UEFA Champions League, Bundesliga, German Cup, UEFA Super Cup, German Super Cup and now the FIFA Club World Cup.
HISTORY
The FIFA Club World Cup,organised by the Fédération Internationale de Football Association , was first contested in 2000 as the FIFA Club World Championship.
It was not held from 2001 to 2004 due to a combination of factors, but since 2005 it has been held every year.
The first FIFA Club World Championship took place in Brazil in 2000. It ran in parallel with the Intercontinental Cup, a competition played by the winners of the UEFA Champions League and the Copa Libertadores, from 2000 to 2004, with the champions of each tournament both recognised (in 2017) by FIFA as club world champions. In 2005, the Intercontinental Cup was merged with the FIFA Club World Championship, and in 2006, the tournament was renamed as the FIFA Club World Cup. The winner of the Club World Cup receives the FIFA Club World Cup Trophy and the FIFA World Champions certificate.
The current format of the tournament involves seven teams competing for the title at venues within the host nation over a period of about two weeks; the winners of that year's AFC Champions League (Asia), CAF Champions League (Africa), CONCACAF Champions League (North America), Copa Libertadores (South America), OFC Champions League (Oceania) and UEFA Champions League (Europe) along with the host nation's national champions, participate in a straight ko tournament. The host nation's national champions contest a play-off against the Oceania champions, from which the winner joins the champions of Asia, Africa and North America in the quarter-finals. The quarter-final winners go on to face the European and South American champions, who enter at the semi-final stage, for a place in the final.
