Fifa 'explains' if Palmeiras or Fluminense have a world title, find out 🤨 | OneFootball

A report released by FIFA this Tuesday (17th) has added more fuel to the eternal joke: "Do they have a World Cup?"

Palmeiras and Fluminense consider the Rio Cup—a tournament now recognized by the highest football authority as an "Inter-Confederation Cup"—to be a World Cup title.

This new category brings together winners of international tournaments organized between different confederations.

The organization now, therefore, applies the same criteria to clubs that won the former Intercontinental Cup and the current Club World Cup.

Real Madrid, for example, has nine "Inter-Confederation Cup" titles.

The list also includes clubs like Wydad Casablanca from Morocco and Urawa Reds (Japan), who also won in intercontinental competitions.

So, is it a World Cup or not?

Well, despite the inclusion in the category, FIFA continues to recognize only the winners of the Intercontinental Cup (held between 1960 and 2004) and the current Club World Cup, in place since 2000, as world champions.

So, what do you think about this?
