Football Club World Cup
International Stadium Yokohama has been hosting the FIFA Club World Cup since 2003, first as European/South American Intercontinental Cup and later the Club World Cup.
The first edition held in Yokohama was the match between Real Madrid and Olimpia, where Real were crowned champions. In 2005, the old Intercontinental Cup was replaced to the new World Championship involving football teams, the FIFA Club World Cup, with more teams and matches.
The venue of two matches, including the final, from 2005 to the 2008 editions was the International Stadium Yokohama. According to FIFA, the tournament may return to Japan and possibly to Yokohama for the 2011 edition.
