The 2000 FIFA Club World Championship was the first edition of the FIFA Club World Championship held in Brazil from 5 January to 14 January 2000. [1]

The first Club World Championship consisted of eight qualifiers: the six continental champions, the 1998 Intercontinental Champions and the host nation champions. The tournament was controversial, most notably in England where Manchester United chose to withdraw from a national cup competition, the FA Cup, in order to compete. The launch of the competition was understood by some to be part of a struggle between FIFA and UEFA, who were competing for control of international club football: the existing Intercontinental Cup was outside of FIFA's jurisdiction.[2] The final was competed between the two Brazilian sides and the winner was Sport Club Corinthians Paulista in a penalty shoot-out over Club de Regatas Vasco da Gama.[3]

Participating teams[]

The clubs that qualified for the tournament were:

Brazil Corinthians (Host) CONMEBOL 1998 Campeonato Brasileiro winners
