The World Club Cup is an international competition, which brings together club champions from different continents, such as the Champions League and the Libertadores Cup in South America. The purpose of the World Club Cup is to decide the best club team in the world.

The birth of the Champions League
Football has been fully revived all over the world, but there are few exchanges between national teams and competitions between clubs. At that time, Gabriel Yano, the founder of the European Footballer of the Year award, put forward the idea of creating the European Club Cup, aiming at making the top European clubs compete on the same stage. The sponsors of the European Club Cup actively contacted FIFA and UEFA.
The idea of UEFA is to organize another cup to replace the European Club Cup proposed by L 'Equipe and most European clubs. The participants in this cup are not clubs, but cities, in order to close the friendly ties and sports exchanges between European cities. After the first TV broadcast of the World Cup held in Switzerland from 65438 to 0954 and its success, it became more possible for European TV organizations to support the European Club Champions Cup.
