The 4-0 win over Copa Libertadores champions Dominic Fummins to win the Club World Cup, and that's after opting to leave out Erling Haaland and Kevin De Bruyne, who has been out injured since the start of the season, is yet another proof of a fact that soccer fans all over the world are well aware of.

The winner must be the strongest.
The Club World Cup has been held for a total of 20 times, Europe won 16 times, the remaining 4 times by the recognized second strongest South American Cup of Freedom champions won, the rest of the continents such as Asia, Africa, North and Central America and Oceania champions have not won the championship and a total of only 6 times the runner-up, compared to the strength of the gap is even greater.
The full name of the Club World Cup is "FIFA Club World Cup", which is a competition for professional clubs.

The Club World Cup, theoretically the highest honor symbolizing the club level, is a world tournament also hosted by the International Football Association (IFA), the Club World Cup's attention than the World Cup, which is the world's most popular international tournament, can be said to be worlds apart, and the main reason is obviously that the strength of the European Champions is obviously too strong compared to the champions of other continents, so the contest

The tournament itself is clearly the most watched professional tournament, though! This coldly anticipated Club World Cup had a similarly conceptualized and globally-celebrated predecessor called the 'Toyota Cup'.
Toyota Cup was originally called the Intercontinental Cup, will be called the Toyota Cup because the game in 1980 by the Japanese automobile company Toyota title sponsorship, the first held in 1960, it is reported that this tournament will be the first established because although Europe is the origin of modern soccer, but in the international tournament many times by the suppression of the South American teams, especially in the 1958 World Cup Brazil invincible performance of the stimulus, so that the Europeans realize the importance of the South American football awareness, and finally because of the South American Championship Cup in 1960 (to 1965 renamed the Liberty Cup), the European Football Association and South America, the first match. Finally, because the South American Champions Cup started its inaugural tournament in 1960 (renamed the Copa Libertadores in 1965), the European Football Association (EFA) and the South American Football Association (SAFA) were able to establish the tournament.

The year also saw the launch of a summit tournament featuring the European and South American champions!
The format of the Intercontinental Cup between 1960 and 79 was to have two teams play one game each, home and away, with the winner being determined by the total score of the two matches, although in the inaugural tournament Europe was represented by

After defeating Penarol, the South American representative, the South Americans won the next three tournaments, including 1962 and 1963, when Pele led Santos to become the first team ever to complete back-to-back consecutive victories in the Intercontinental Cup, formally helping the Brazilian team to reach the top of the international and professional tournaments, which was another glorious moment in the career of the King of Soccer! Pele's seven goals in the tournament were the most ever, and he scored the only hat-trick in the history of the tournament! That's why some people say that Pele never played in the tournament.

The league is tied, not to mention he has led his team to two Intercontinental Cup wins.
The importance of the Intercontinental Cup was much higher than that of the current Club World Cup because of the uncertainty of the match between the two champions at that time! However, in the 1960s, Penarol, Independiente, Competition and Students, all clubs from Argentina and Uruguay, participated in the tournament, and there were a lot of violent clashes and fan riots due to the obsession of winning and losing, which led to some clubs in Europe deciding to boycott the tournament in the 1970s, and as a result, not only was it suspended in the years of 75 and 78, but also four of the remaining seven years were due to be canceled. As a result, of the nine tournaments between 1971-79, not only were the tournaments suspended in '75 and '78, but four of the remaining seven tournaments should have been canceled.

The winner did not wish to compete and was replaced by the runner-up.
However, in 1980, the above mentioned tournament received title sponsorship from the Japanese company Toyota, and the commercialization of the tournament was significantly improved under the operation of the shrewd Japanese businessmen, the participating teams could get more generous tournament prizes, in addition, the best player of the tournament could also get a Toyota car as a reward, which successfully brought this tournament back to life, and the tournament system was changed to a match between the two teams together in a neutral ground in Japan, and the time of the tournament was fixed at the end of each year. The format of the tournament was changed to one match between the two teams in a neutral venue in Japan, and the time of the tournament was fixed at the end of each year. Previously, the time of the tournament had to be decided by the two teams after scheduling their travels, but the decision to fix the time of the tournament seemed to be a good one, but it also posed a potential problem for the future of the tournament, as will be mentioned in the next section.
The Toyota Cup has been held for a total of 43 times, and the number of times South America has won has been 22:21 over Europe, and after 1995, Europe had already succeeded in commercialization, and the new blood of soccer from all continents, including South America, naturally went to Europe to play, and the strength of the European champions began to shrug off the Freedom Cup, and they won eight times in the last ten years of the tournament, but they still didn't overtake South America in the match, so the so-called two champions of the previous 30 years or so were actually more honorable in the match. In the first 30 years or so of the era when the two so-called champions were on an equal footing, South America actually won more honors in the head-to-head matches.
