This Be@rbrick FIFA Club World Cup Japan 2007 is a premium gift to the 300 VIP that attended the final match of FIFA Club World Cup Japan 2007 (Boca Juniors Vs AC Milan) at International Stadium Yokohama on 16th December 2007.
The FIFA Club World Cup, formerly known as the FIFA Club World Championship, is a football competition contested between the champion clubs from all 6 continental confederations, although, since 2007, the champions of Oceania must play a qualifying play-off against the champion club of the host country.
The first competition took place in Brazil in January 2000. It was intended by FIFA to be a replacement for the Intercontinental Cup (also known as the Toyota Cup), which was contested annually in Tokyo, Japan by the champions of Europe and South America.
The second edition was penciled in for Spain in 2001, to feature 12 teams. This was cancelled owing to a combination of factors, most importantly the collapse of FIFA’s marketing partner ISL. It was then intended to hold the event in 2003, but this also failed to happen. FIFA eventually agreed terms with the Toyota Cup to merge the two competitions, with the first installment of the relaunched Club World Championship held in Japan between December 11 and December 18, 2005.
Japan has hosted the yearly competition since, but open bidding processes for hosting it will begin with the 2009 edition. Portugal, Australia and the UAE has presented a bid for the 2009 and 2010 FIFA Club World Cup.
