FIFA Club World Cup 2006

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The FIFA Club World Cup 2006 was a football tournament held in Japan between 10 and 17 December 2006.

The club champions from each of the six confederations played in a knockout tournament. The quarterfinal matchups were set up by a draw including the AFC, CAF, CONCACAF and OFC champions, while the UEFA and CONMEBOL champions were given byes to the semifinals. The losers of the quarterfinals would play for the fifth place, while the losers of the semifinals were to play in a third-place playoff.

A team from the host nation did not participate as proposed initially. Following the departure of Australia from the OFC, the Oceanian representative, Auckland City FC, was fully amateur, so forcing them to play a playoff for a place in the quarterfinals against the J. League champions (Gamba Osaka) was considered, which would have also promoted local interest. The change would have also eliminated the fifth-place playoff, to keep the number of games intact. This was finally rejected, but the tournament format will be reviewed for the following editions. [1]
