The 2000 FIFA Club World Championship was the inaugural FIFA Club World Cup, the world club championship for men's club association football teams. It took place in Brazil from January 5 to January 14, 2000. FIFA, football's international governing body selected Brazil as the host nation in September 3, 1997 as the bid was found to be the strongest among a total of nine candidates. All matches were played in Rio de Janeiro's Estádio do Maracanã and São Paulo's Estádio do Morumbi.

Eight teams, two from South America, two from Europe and one each from North America, Africa, Asia and Oceania entered the tournament. The first Club World Cup match took place in São Paulo, and was won by Spanish club Real Madrid, who defeated Saudi club Al-Nassr 3–1. Nicolas Anelka of France scored the first goal in Club World Cup history, while Brazilian champions Corinthians' goalkeeper Dida posted the first official "clean sheet" in the tournament.

Corinthians and Vasco da Gama each won their respective groups to qualify for the final. In the final, Vasco da Gam and Corinthians tied 0–0 after playing extra time in front of a crowd of 73,000 people. The world title was decided on a penalty shoot-out that saw Corinthians beat the home side 4-3 on penalties.
