The 2013 FIFA Club World Cup (officially known as the FIFA Club World Cup Morocco 2013 presented by Toyota for sponsorship reasons)[1] was the 10th edition of the FIFA Club World Cup, a FIFA-organised international club football tournament between the winners of the six continental confederations as well as the host nation's league champions.[2] It was hosted by Morocco,[3] and played from 11 to 21 December 2013.[1][4]

Defending champions Corinthians did not qualify as they were eliminated in the round of 16 of the 2013 Copa Libertadores. The eventual winners of that competition, Atlético Mineiro, were beaten in the semi-finals of the Club World Cup by Moroccan side Raja Casablanca, whose appearance in the final made them the first club to appear in all four rounds of the competition, having entered in the play-off for the quarter-finals; however, they were unable to make history by winning the title, as European champions Bayern Munich won the final 2–0 for their first Club World Cup title.

Host bids

[edit]

There were four countries bidding to host the 2013 and 2014 tournaments (same host for both tournaments):[5]

In October 2011, FIFA said that Iran, South Africa and the United Arab Emirates all withdrew their bids, leaving Morocco as the only bidder.[6] The FIFA Executive Committee officially confirmed Morocco as host on 17 December 2011 during their meeting in Tokyo, Japan.[7]

Vanishing spray

[edit]

Following successful trials at the 2013 FIFA U-20 World Cup and 2013 FIFA U-17 World Cup, FIFA approved the vanishing spray to be used by the tournament referees to mark the ten-yard line for the defending team during a free kick.[15]

Squads

[edit]

Each team named a 23-man squad (three of whom must be goalkeepers) by the FIFA deadline of 29 November 2013. Injury replacements were allowed until 24 hours before the team's first match.[2]

A total of 31 nationalities were represented in the squads of the seven teams.[16]

Matches

[edit]
Quarter final playoff in Agadir
