The inaugural edition of the Women's Club World Cup is set to kick off in January-February 2026, as announced by FIFA. The 16-team tournament will be a quadrennial event, aimed at elevating the status of women's football globally. This initiative was first revealed by FIFA President Gianni Infantino in May 2021, as part of a broader strategy to revolutionize the women's game.
During the recent FIFA Council meeting held ahead of the 74th FIFA Congress in Bangkok, the specifics of the Women's Club World Cup were discussed. While detailed information was not provided, it is anticipated that the tournament will feature top clubs from the UEFA Women's Champions League, teams from the National Women's Soccer League in the United States, and other clubs from regions where women's football is still developing.
