The tournament serves as a continuation of the annual version of the FIFA Club World Cup, which was expanded and reorganised into a quadrennial tournament with more entrants. Its name is derived from the former Intercontinental Cup that was last played in 2004 between teams from UEFA and CONMEBOL.

The tournament's format and name were approved by the FIFA Council on 17 December 2023.[2][3]
