==Aftermath and legacy==
Following the inaugural Club World Cup, FIFA pledged further editions of the tournament. The first of these was slated for [[2001 FIFA Club World Championship|Spain in 2001]], with an expected 12 participants.<ref name="Reference 31">{{cite web |last1=Stokkermans |first1=Karel |date=31 December 2005 |title=2001 FIFA Club World Cup |url=https://www.rsssf.org/tablesf/fifa-wcc01.html |access-date=6 March 2013 |publisher=[[Rec.Sport.Soccer Statistics Foundation]]}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |date=7 March 2001 |title=Galaxy to face Real, African and Asian teams |url=http://usatoday30.usatoday.com/sports/soccer/world/2001-03-06-world-club-championship.htm |access-date=6 March 2013 |work=[[USA Today]]}}</ref> By March of that year, group draws had even taken place. However, the second edition of the tournament was called off due to a range of factors involving partners and sponsorships, with the collapse of [[International Sport and Leisure]], FIFA's marketing partner at the time, being the most significant.<ref>{{cite news |date=18 May 2001 |title=FIFA decides to postpone 2001 Club World Championship to 2003 |url=http://de.fifa.com/tournaments/archive/tournament=107/edition=4735/releases/newsid=91574.html |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131109023834/http://de.fifa.com/tournaments/archive/tournament%3D107/edition%3D4735/releases/newsid%3D91574.html |archive-date=9 November 2013 |access-date=4 January 2021 |publisher=FIFA}}</ref> The event was then rescheduled for 2003, but it didn't come to fruition either. It wasn't until 2004 that FIFA was able to officially announce the second edition of the tournament.<ref name="Reference 33">{{cite web |date=5 April 2005 |title=Logo revealed for top club competition |url=https://www.fifa.com/tournaments/archive/clubworldcup/japan2005/news/newsid=96919/index.html |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140506181840/http://www.fifa.com/tournaments/archive/clubworldcup/japan2005/news/newsid=96919/index.html |archive-date=6 May 2014 |access-date=6 March 2013 |publisher=FIFA}}</ref>

From the [[2005 FIFA Club World Championship|2005 edition onwards]], the competition has been held continuously but under a new format, featuring [[single-elimination tournament]] instead of a group stage plus final, and with a shorter duration, addressing scheduling concerns for national federations and continental confederations. While the two subsequent editions, 2005 and 2006, included only the six continental champions, from the [[2007 FIFA Club World Cup|2007 edition onwards]], the number of participants increased to seven – the seventh spot was typically reserved for the national champion of the host country. However, to prevent the recurrence of two clubs from the same country, as happened in 2000, FIFA introduced a mechanism: if the continental champion hailed from the host country, the national champion of that country would forfeit its spot, which would then go to the highest-ranked team from another country in the continental competition.<ref>{{cite web |title=Organising Committee strengthens FIFA Club World Cup format |url=https://www.fifa.com/clubworldcup/news/newsid=570740.html |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20071001145244/http://www.fifa.com/clubworldcup/news/newsid%3D570740.html |archive-date=1 October 2007 |access-date=14 August 2007}}</ref>
