International football competition
The
2007 FIFA Club World Cup
(officially known as the
FIFA Club World Cup Japan 2007 presented by Toyota
for sponsorship reasons) 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; Defending champions
Internacional
did not qualify as they were eliminated in the second stage of the
2007 Copa Libertadores
.
Italian side
Milan
became the first European team to win the Club World Cup with a 4?2 victory over Argentinian club
Boca Juniors
in the
final
. That title made them the most successful team in the world in terms of official international trophies won (18).

Location of teams of the 2007 FIFA Club World Cup
The qualified teams were decided during 2007 through the six major 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.
[2]
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,
[3]
which indeed happened as
Urawa Red Diamonds
won the 2007 AFC Champions League. Also, the fifth-place match was eliminated for this edition.
It was the first participation in the FIFA Club World Cup for all seven teams that qualified.
