FIFA has announced its plan to launch a women's version of the Club World Cup in 2026, over a quarter of a century after the first men's edition. The decision was made following extensive consultation with confederations and stakeholders, with the tournament proposed to be held every four years starting in 2026.
While the women's Champions League is well established in Europe, other confederations have less developed women's club championships. To address this, FIFA proposed an additional women's club competition in non-Club World Cup years starting from 2027.
