"The inaugural FIFA Women's Champions Cup travels to London on Wednesday as the final four clubs battle for the trophy. Having started back in October, the competition is played between the six best teams from each continental confederation, with this week's final tournament format featuring two semifinals, a third-place playoff and a final. With diverse playing styles and world-class talent on display, the event promises high-stakes drama"
"No, the 16-team Club World Cup is a separate competition. But think of this one as its little sister. Originally, the Club World Cup was scheduled for 2026, but due to organizational and planning issues, FIFA chose to postpone it until 2028. Not wanting to miss the chance at having three tournaments in consecutive years, with the 2027 World Cup to be held next year in Brazil, FIFA opted to implement the six-team Champions Cup."
The inaugural FIFA Women's Champions Cup brings together continental champions for a final-four tournament in London featuring two semifinals, a third-place playoff and a final. The competition began in October and is contested by the six best teams from each confederation. The event showcases diverse playing styles, world-class talent and carries the highest-ever single prize-money payout in women's football for the winner. Each confederation organized its own qualifying competitions to feed the Champions Cup. The tournament differs from the 16-team Women's Club World Cup, which has been postponed to 2028 amid organizational and planning issues. The 2028 Club World Cup's January schedule raises scheduling conflicts with the WSL.
