The FIFA Club World Cup bracket is a single-elimination tournament structure that determines the champion among the winners of the six continental confederations' premier club competitions (AFC, CAF, CONCACAF, CONMEBOL, OFC, UEFA), plus the host nation's league champion. The bracket typically features a preliminary round involving the host nation's champion and the OFC champion. The winners then advance to face the champions of the other confederations, culminating in semi-finals and a final match to crown the Club World Cup champion. The specific bracket arrangement can vary slightly depending on the number of participating teams and FIFA's scheduling decisions, but always aims to fairly pit the continental champions against each other.
