International football competition
The
2008 FIFA Club World Cup
(officially known as the
FIFA Club World Cup Japan 2008 presented by Toyota
for sponsorship reasons) was the fifth
FIFA Club World Cup
, a
football
tournament for the champion clubs from each of
FIFA
's six continental confederations. The tournament was held in
Japan
from 11 to 21 December 2008.
Defending champions
Milan
did not qualify, having been eliminated in the round of 16 of the
2007?08 UEFA Champions League
. The winners of that competition,
Manchester United
, won the Club World Cup for the first time, beating
Gamba Osaka
5?3 in the semi-finals before a 1?0 win over
LDU Quito
in the
final
at the
International Stadium
in
Yokohama
on 21 December. It was United's second world title, following the
1999 Intercontinental Cup
, which was also held in Japan. It was also the first edition in which the CONMEBOL representative did not hail from either Argentina or Brazil.
The fifth-place match, dropped for the
2007 tournament
, was reintroduced for 2008, with the total prize money being increased by
US$
500,000 to US$16.5 million. The winners took away US$5 million, the losing finalists US$4 million, the third-placed team US$2.5 million, the fourth-placed team US$2 million, the fifth-placed team US$1.5 million, the sixth-placed team US$1 million and the seventh-placed team US$500,000.
