Real Madrid won The 2024 FIFA Intercontinental Cup but won't receive FIFA's Traditional Gold Badge.
Real Madrid won The 2024 FIFA Intercontinental Cup but won't receive FIFA's Traditional Gold Badge. X This is due to FIFA's recent restructuring of its club competitions. The FIFA Club World Cup is transitioning to a new format and will be held every four years, with the next tournament scheduled for 2025 in the United States. In the interim, FIFA introduced the Intercontinental Cup as an annual competition to maintain intercontinental club play. However, this tournament does not confer the Champions Badge upon its winners.
As a result, Manchester City, the winners of the last FIFA Club World Cup under the previous format, will continue to wear the gold Champions Badge until the next Club World Cup champion is crowned in 2025. With the Club World Cup now occurring every four years, the upcoming champion in 2025 will have the privilege of wearing the badge for 4 years.
