The 2014 FIFA Club World Cup (officially known as the FIFA Club World Cup Morocco 2014 presented by Toyota for sponsorship reasons)[1] was the 11th edition of the FIFA Club World Cup, a FIFA-organised international club football tournament between the winners of the six continental confederations as well as the host nation's league champions.[2] It was hosted by Morocco for the second consecutive season,[3] and played from 10 to 20 December 2014.[1]

Bayern Munich could not defend their title having been eliminated in the semi-finals of the 2013–14 UEFA Champions League by eventual winners Real Madrid. The Spanish side went on to beat Mexico's Cruz Azul 4–0 in the Club World Cup semi-finals, before defeating San Lorenzo 2–0 in the final to give them their first Club World Cup title.[4] Including the 1960, 1998 and 2002 Intercontinental Cups, it was Real Madrid's fourth world club title, equalling Milan's record.[5]

Host bids

[edit]

There were four countries bidding to host the 2013 and 2014 tournaments (same host for both tournaments):[6]

In October 2011, FIFA said that Iran, South Africa and the United Arab Emirates all withdrew their bids, leaving Morocco as the only bidder.[7] The FIFA Executive Committee officially confirmed Morocco as host on 17 December 2011 during their meeting in Tokyo, Japan.[8]

On 21 August 2014, FIFA issued a statement reconfirming Morocco as the host, despite recent rumours that a change in venue might be sought due to the 2014 West Africa Ebola virus outbreak.[9] Morocco had cancelled its hosting of the 2015 Africa Cup of Nations due to fears of Ebola, but vowed to host the Club World Cup as no entrants would be from the countries with the most severe Ebola outbreaks.[10]
