FIFA stripped Barca and many clubs of their championship titles

Chelsea made many people take their hats off when they defeated PSG to win the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup. However, right after this historic moment, the World Football Federation (FIFA) recently caused a stir when it announced the decision to revoke the "world champion" status of all clubs that had won the championship in previous seasons.

FIFA has said that the old format of the Club World Cup is no longer suitable to determine the "world's strongest club". From 2025 onwards, only teams that win the expanded format will be officially recognized as true world champions. This decision means that previous titles won by Barcelona, ​​Real Madrid, Bayern Munich, Manchester United and Corinthians... will no longer be considered official by FIFA.

FIFA's decision immediately sparked a wave of fierce controversy, especially from Barcelona fans - the most successful club in the history of the tournament with 3 championships. Many people believe that this is an act of "denying history", disrespecting the efforts of past teams. A series of criticisms appeared on social networks with strong slogans such as "History cannot be erased" or "Cannot take away the memories of fans".

In the face of protests, FIFA representatives affirmed that this was a necessary step to raise the level and standardize the value of the world championship title at the club level. However, this move still divided the football world. While some experts supported the change, others were concerned that FIFA was damaging the legacy of the legends who contributed to building the tournament.
