The 2024 FIFA Intercontinental Cup, officially named the FIFA Intercontinental Cup Qatar 2024 presented by Aramco, was the first edition of this annual club football tournament organized by FIFA. It featured six teams, each representing the winners of their respective continental championships from the previous season, competing in a single-elimination format.
The tournament took place from 22 September to 18 December 2024. The first two matches were hosted at the stadiums of the participating teams, while the final three matches, including the final, were played in Qatar at a neutral venue.
This competition largely retained the structure of the previous annual FIFA Club World Cup, which was expanded and reformatted into a quadrennial event with a larger number of teams, aside from changes in the venues for the early rounds.
