Disputed as the King Fahd Cup, in honor of the then Saudi ruler who organized the tournament with his country's federation (thus in the form of an unofficial tournament),<ref name=":F1542">For FIFA statute, official competitions are those for representative teams organized by FIFA or any confederation. Representative teams are usually national teams but also club teams that represent a confederation in the interconfederal competitions or a member association in a continental competition cfr. {{cite web|url=https://digitalhub.fifa.com/m/19a43d5f3a4c750b/original/vga5sv1yxeayptzrdudx-pdf.pdf|title=FIFA Statutes, April 2016 edition|page=5}} cfr. {{cite web|url=https://digitalhub.fifa.com/m/2d5d33a48d2c98ce/original/mkbo3nwk4btahl9gwtwl-pdf.pdf|title=FIFA Club World Cup UAE 2018: Statistical-kit|date=10 December 2018|page=13}} cfr. {{cite web|url=https://www.uefa.com/MultimediaFiles/Download/Regulations/uefaorg/Regulations/02/55/82/79/2558279_DOWNLOAD.pdf|title=2018/19 UEFA Champions League regulations|page=10}}</ref> it was hosted by Saudi Arabia in January 1995.
