Top five countries with most FIFA Club World Cup trophies

European countries have dominated this tournament.

The Fédération Internationale de Football Association (FIFA), the global governing body of football, organises the FIFA Club World Cup (FIFA CWC), an international men’s association football competition. The FIFA Club World Championship was the original name of the competition when it began in 2000.

A number of variables combined to prevent it from taking place between 2001 and 2004. The FIFA Club World Cup prize and a FIFA World Champions certificate are awarded to the Club World Cup winner.

Although Spanish teams have won the competition eight times, which nation has won the most Club World Cup titles outside of Spain? Let’s examine.
