Sponsorship
The tournament's presenting partner is Toyota, presumably as a result of the merger of the Club World Championship with the Toyota-sponsored Intercontinental Cup in 2005. Because Toyota is an automaker and is the main sponsor of the tournament, Hyundai-Kia's status as FIFA partner is not active with respect to the Club World Cup. The five other FIFA partners – Adidas, Coca-Cola, Emirates, Sony, and Visa – retain full sponsorship rights, however.
The event sponsors have varied from year to year.
