In a groundbreaking announcement, FIFA has officially declared Chelsea as the first-ever Club World Cup champions following their thrilling victory over Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) in New Jersey on Sunday night.
The Blues’ triumph marks a new era in the tournament’s history, with Chelsea taking home the newly designed trophy and a substantial cash prize.
Chelsea’s 3-0 win over PSG was a shocking result, given the French side’s status as favorites for the tournament. However, the English club delivered an emphatic performance, with Cole Palmer scoring a brace and providing an assist for Joao Pedro’s goal.
This dominant display showcased Chelsea’s strength and depth, cementing their position as a force to be reckoned with in the football world.
In a surprising twist, FIFA’s announcement has seemingly rebranded previous Club World Cup winners as “FIFA Intercontinental Champions.” This move has sparked debate among football fans, with some questioning the implications for past winners.
According to FIFA’s social media post, Chelsea is now recognized as the first-ever FIFA Club World Cup champion, with their 2024 victory marking a new chapter in the tournament’s history.
The Club World Cup has a rich history, dating back to its inaugural edition in 2000.
The tournament has undergone several format changes over the years, expanding to 32 teams for the first time this summer. Prior to Chelsea’s win, four English teams had previously lifted the trophy, but their status has now been reclassified.
