2007 FIFA Club World Cup


The 2007 FIFA Club World Cup was a football tournament played in Japan from 7 to 16 December 2007. It was the fourth FIFA Club World Cup, a tournament organised by FIFA for the winners of each confederation's top continental club tournament.
Seven teams from the six confederations entered the tournament with Italian side A.C. Milan defeating Boca Juniors from Argentina 4-2 in the final to become the most successful team in the world in terms of international trophies won and the first European team to win the Club World Cup.

Qualified teams

The qualified teams were decided during 2007 through the six major :Category:International club association football competitions|continental competitions. The winner of each regional club championship participated in the 2007 Club World Cup. In March 2007, the FIFA executive committee introduced a qualifying playoff between the 2007 OFC Champions League champion and the host nation's 2007 J. League champion, as opposed to previous years, in which the Oceania champions were given direct entry into the tournament. In order to avoid the participation of two teams from the same country, the best-placed non-Japanese team in the AFC Champions League would take the "host" berth if a Japanese team won that competition, which indeed happened as Urawa Red Diamonds won the 2007 AFC Champions League. Also, the fifth-place match was eliminated for this edition.
† Sepahan took Japan's slot due to a Japanese team winning the AFC Champions League.

Venues

Tokyo, Yokohama and Toyota were the three cities to serve as venues for the 2007 FIFA Club World Cup.
