FIFA Club World Cup 2011 Champions, matches and achievements

Club World Cup 2011 was the 8th edition of the FIFA Club World Cup, a FIFA-organized tournament between the winners of the six continental confederations as well as the host nation’s league champions.
After the United Arab Emirates hosted the FIFA Club World Cup in 2009 and 2010, the 2011 edition returned to Japan. During a visit to Japan on 23 May 2011, FIFA President Sepp Blatter confirmed that Japan would continue as the tournament’s host despite the devastating 2011 Tōhoku earthquake and tsunami.
Defending champions Internazionale did not qualify after being eliminated in the quarter-finals of the 2010–11 UEFA Champions League. The winners of that competition, Barcelona, went on to dominate the 2011 Club World Cup. They defeated Qatari club Al-Sadd 4–0 in the semi-finals and secured another 4–0 victory against Brazilian club Santos in the final to win the title.
