FIFA Club World Cup 2022 Champions, matches and result

The 2022 FIFA Club World Cup (officially known as the FIFA Club World Cup Morocco 2022 presented by Visit Saudi for sponsorship reasons) was the 19th 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 held from 1 to 11 February 2023 in Morocco.

Chelsea were the defending champions, but they were not able to defend their title as they did not qualify after being eliminated in the quarter-finals of the 2021–22 UEFA Champions League by eventual winners Real Madrid. The Spanish side went on to win the Club World Cup for a record fifth time, beating Al Ahly of Egypt 4–1 in the semi-finals before a 5–3 win over Saudi Arabian side Al-Hilal in the final.
This edition also marked the first time a club from the United States (Seattle Sounders FC) took part in the tournament.

Champions: Real Madrid (5th title)
Runners-up: Al-Hilal
Best Player: Vinícius Júnior ( Real Madrid)
