The 2023 FIFA Club World Cup (officially titled the FIFA Club World Cup Saudi Arabia 2023 presented by Visit Saudi for sponsorship purposes) was the 20th edition of the FIFA Club World Cup and the final edition held under the previous format. Organised by FIFA, the tournament featured seven teams comprising the winners of each of the six continental confederations' top club competitions, along with the champions of the host nation's domestic league. It was held in Saudi Arabia from 12 to 22 December 2023.
Real Madrid were the defending champions, but were not able to defend their title after being eliminated in the semi-finals of the 2022–23 UEFA Champions League by eventual winners Manchester City. The English team won the edition by beating the Brazilian team Fluminense 4–0 in the final, claiming their first title. This edition marked the conclusion of the Club World Cup's seven-team format, which had been in place since the competition's inception in 2000 (with the exception of 2001 when the tournament was cancelled). It was the last before the tournament's expansion to a 32-team event beginning with the 2025 edition.
