FIFA Club World Cup 2020 was the 17th edition of the FIFA Club World Cup, a FIFA-organized international club football tournament between the winners of the six continental confederations, as well as the host nation’s league champions. The tournament was hosted by Qatar.
The event was postponed to 2021 due to the COVID-19 pandemic, as the AFC, CONMEBOL, and CONCACAF champions would not have been determined in time for the tournament. Originally scheduled for December 2020, FIFA announced on 17 November 2020 that the competition would instead be held from 1 to 11 February 2021.

Summary
Originally, seven teams were set to compete in the tournament. However, Auckland City, the OFC representative, withdrew due to the COVID-19 pandemic and the related quarantine measures mandated by New Zealand authorities. As a result, only six teams participated, and the first-round match scheduled for 1 February 2021 was awarded as a 3–0 win to their opponents, Al-Duhail, the host Qatar’s representative, who advanced automatically to the second round on 4 February 2021.
Defending champions Liverpool did not qualify as they were eliminated in the round of 16 of the 2019–20 UEFA Champions League. Bayern Munich, the winners of that competition, went on to win the Club World Cup for the second time, defeating Al Ahly 2–0 in the semi-finals and UANL 1–0 in the final. By winning the title, Bayern Munich became only the second club in European football history, after Barcelona in 2009, to win all six competitions they entered in a single calendar year, achieving the coveted sextuple.
