World Club Cup
WORLD CLUB CUP S28
The countdown is over. A new World Club Cup season is on the horizon, and the road to the trophy has never looked more demanding.
Before the action begins, the spotlight remains on last season's champions Leicester and their manager Ash. The atmosphere is charged with anticipation as fans look forward to seeing how the team will build upon their incredible success from the previous season.
This season, we keep the same approach as last season, focusing on the World Club Cup as our primary competition. The format implemented has proven to be effective and smooth, allowing teams to face off under favorable conditions. Managers can organize their matches without encountering any significant logistical issues, which is crucial in maintaining the teams' competitive spirit and performance levels.
The objective is clear: fewer scheduling conflicts, which have plagued teams in the past, will lead to greater intensity in every match played. The league has carefully crafted a schedule that maximizes the excitement of the tournament while minimizing the risk of fatigue or injury among players. This relentless path toward the title means that every match counts, placing considerable pressure on all teams involved to consistently perform at their best. By fostering a competitive environment, fans can expect thrilling moments and intense rivalries to unfold throughout the season. The stakes have never been higher, and as the teams prepare to take the field, the excitement builds for what promises to be an unforgettable season.
DRAW COMPLETE – SURVIVAL FROM DAY ONE
The draw has been finalized, producing a full knockout bracket where there will be no second chances.
From the opening round, every match carries elimination stakes. Every tie will be played over two legs, placing a premium on consistency, squad management, and tactical discipline.
With 100 clubs participating, several teams have received automatic passage through Round 1. Tournament officials emphasized that these byes were assigned purely through random draw and are necessary to maintain bracket balance.
The competition officially kicks off on Wednesday, July 15th, when the first battles of the new campaign get underway.
Tournament Schedule and Bracket:
⚽️🍀🏆https://challonge.com/wvvpws2j🏆🍀⚽️

EXTRA TIME RULE REMAINS
Tournament regulations remain unchanged regarding tied aggregate scores.
Should teams finish level after two legs, progression will once again be decided through the established Fictional Extra Time system, ensuring every knockout clash produces a winner.
STRICTER RULES FOR MANAGERS
Organizers have also announced tougher standards regarding fixture organization following issues experienced during the previous seasons.
Managers will be expected to take full responsibility for arranging matches and maintaining communication with their opponents.
Should a fixture remain unplayed, managers must provide evidence that genuine attempts were made to organize the match. Failure to do so could have severe consequences.
If neither side can demonstrate sufficient effort, both clubs will be eliminated from the competition, while their scheduled next-round opponent will advance automatically.
The message from tournament officials is unmistakable: professionalism and accountability are now non-negotiable.
A NEW CHAPTER BEGINS
The bracket is set. The contenders are ready. The champions have targets on their backs.
For some clubs, this season offers redemption. For others, it presents an opportunity to build a legacy. For everyone involved, the challenge is the same: survive, advance, and keep the dream alive.
Same format. Greater pressure. Higher stakes.
The World Club Cup is back—and the battle for football's ultimate club crown begins now.

ASH DELIVERS WORLD CLUB CUP GLORY IN DEBUT SEASON AS LEICESTER EDGE PORTO
Leicester crowned world champions after dramatic extra-time victory following 1-1 aggregate draw
Ash could hardly have dreamed of a better beginning to life as Leicester City manager.
In his first season in charge, the Leicester boss guided the club to World Club Cup glory, overcoming Porto in a tense and dramatic final that required fictional extra time to produce a winner after the two sides finished level at 1-1 on aggregate.
The triumph marks the first World Club Cup title of Ash's managerial career and represents one of the finest achievements of his young tenure at the club. Having arrived with the task of leading Leicester into a new era, he has wasted little time in delivering silverware on the global stage.
The final itself was a showcase of determination and tactical discipline from both teams. Neither Leicester nor Porto were willing to give ground, resulting in a closely fought contest that remained on a knife-edge throughout both legs.
Porto, managed by Andre, proved worthy opponents and matched Leicester for long periods of the tie. After the aggregate score finished 1-1, the final was forced into fictional extra time, with the destination of the trophy hanging in the balance.
As fatigue set in and tension gripped players and supporters alike, Leicester found the moment they had been searching for. The decisive extra-time goal finally broke the deadlock and sent the Leicester bench into wild celebrations.
Porto pushed desperately for an equaliser, but Leicester stood firm, defending their advantage until the final whistle confirmed them as world champions.
The victory is particularly significant for Ash, whose arrival at the club was met with both excitement and expectation. Delivering a major international trophy in his first season has immediately endeared him to supporters and established his credentials among the game's rising managers.
Leicester's players also deserve immense credit for navigating one of the toughest paths imaginable. Against a Porto side that refused to surrender, they demonstrated resilience, composure and character when it mattered most.
For Andre and Porto, defeat will be difficult to accept after pushing the final beyond normal time. Their performance throughout the tie earned admiration and respect, even if they ultimately fell short of lifting the trophy.
As Leicester's players celebrated on the world stage, one image stood above the rest: Ash, in his debut season, raising the World Club Cup trophy for the first time in his career.
For Leicester City, it is a moment of glory.
For Ash, it may be the beginning of something special.

THE ROAD TO GLORY STARTS NOW
A new season is approaching — and the World Club Cup is calling.
First, congratulations to last season’s champions: Leicester, winners of the WCC, and São Paulo, champions of the WCS. True excellence, deserved success, and a benchmark for the season ahead.
The upcoming season introduces a refined competition format. Experience has shown that managing multiple parallel competitions can place excessive pressure on managers, so this season will feature again with one unified elite competition. All Top 100 GW teams remain included — only the structure evolves.
All teams have entered a random draw, forming a full knockout bracket with elimination matches from the very first round. Every round will be played over two legs, where consistency, preparation, and performance will define progression.
Due to the 100-team structure, some clubs will receive a Round 1 bye. This is a result of the random draw and a necessary structural element to ensure competitive balance and proper tournament flow.
The competition officially begins on Wednesday, February 18th.
⚽️🔥🏆Link to schedule: https://challonge.com/gyn86ja0

All competition rules remain in effect, including the system for tied aggregate scores after two legs, which will continue to be resolved through Fictional Extra Time.
We will continue with rules for match organization and managerial responsibility. Based on last season’s experience, a stricter professional standard will apply:
- Managers must actively organize their fixtures
- In the event of an unplayed match, managers must contact the organizer and provide proof of attempted scheduling
- Failure to do so will result in both teams being eliminated
- Their next-round opponent will receive a free pass to the following stage
This season is built on discipline, structure, accountability, and competition integrity.
We are entering a new era of the World Club Cup — a format designed for intensity, fairness, and elite performance.

Barcelona Crowned WCC Champions After Thrilling Final Against Juventus
Barcelona have done it again!
In a dramatic two-legged World Club Cup (WCC) final, the Spanish giants held off a fierce Juventus comeback to claim the title with a 6-4 aggregate victory. Under the steady leadership of manager Adam, this marks Barcelona’s third WCC title in just five seasons, solidifying their status as a modern dynasty.
First Leg: Barcelona 4-1 Juventus – Total Domination at Home
The final began with a statement performance at the Camp Nou, where Barcelona completely overwhelmed Juventus.
- Declan Rice opened the scoring with a thunderous strike from distance, setting the tone for the night.
- Juventus responded through Álvaro Morata, who leveled the score.
- Rodrygo put Barcelona again in the lead with a clinical finish after a swift attacking move.
- Robert Lewandowski made it 3-1 just short after halftime, showcasing his killer instincts inside the box.
- But Barcelona weren't done—Luis Díaz added a late fourth, leave the visitors reeling.
The match ended 4-1, putting Barcelona firmly in control ahead of the second leg in Turin.
Second Leg: Juventus 3-2 Barcelona – A Brave Fightback Falls Short
Backed by a passionate home crowd, Juventus came out swinging in the second leg, desperate to overturn the deficit.
- Kingsley Coman ignited hope with an early goal, exploiting space down the flank.
- Then Marcus Rashford stepped up with a sensational goal, bringing the score to 2-0 on the night and momentarily cutting the aggregate to 4-3.
But Barcelona kept their composure, leaning on their experience—and one man in particular.
- Lewandowski, rising to the occasion once again, responded with two crucial goals to halt Juventus' momentum. His brace not only kept Barcelona ahead on aggregate but sealed the deal.
- Last goal for Juventus was again from Rashford, but too late to make a difference in final result.
The second leg ended 3-2 in Juventus’ favor, but Barcelona’s first-leg cushion held strong, and they lifted the trophy with a 6-4 win across both matches.
Tactical Brilliance & Historic Achievement
Manager Adam deserves massive credit for masterminding another title run. This victory is his third WCC title in five seasons—a remarkable achievement that speaks volumes about his consistency, tactical evolution, and ability to manage high-pressure games.
Barcelona’s mix of youth, experience, and attacking flair proved too much for Juventus over two legs. With this title, they not only add silverware to their cabinet but also continue to shape an era of dominance on the global stage.
Final Thoughts
The 2025 WCC Final delivered drama, quality football, and two world-class sides going head-to-head. Juventus with manager Kevin fought valiantly and showed glimpses of brilliance, but in the end, Barcelona’s firepower and composure won out.
As the dust settles, one thing is clear: Barcelona under Adam aren’t just winners—they’re building a legacy.

All teams has been in random draw that gave us bracket with elimination games from first round on. Every round will be played with two games. As you can see on the schedule: WCC S25, some teams has free pass in Round 1. They had a luck in random draw, but this is necessary that system will work with 100 teams involved.

All rules of competition stays the same. This also includes how we will handle games that will finish tied after two games: Fictional Extra Time.
Only change in the rules will be in handling managers that they are not organizing their games. Based on last season's experience, we made a decision. Managers will need to be proactive if games are not played. Managers will need to contact me and show proof that they tried to organize their games. If not, both teams will be eliminated from the competition. Their opponent in the next round will get a free pass to the next level of competition.
Hope all is clear and we will have a lot of fun in new season. Enjoy in new format of WCC and hopefully we will see some big surprises this season.

WCC and WCS winners of season 23
And we finally came to the end of this season of WCC and WCS competition. Amazing season with a lot of surprises come to an end with another surprise.
In WCC final we seen two teams with completely different stories. Dortmund, the best team in Top100 by the stats, finally managed to win a title. They played against the big surprise of the season, River Plate. Twice a narrow win (1-0; 1-0) brings some satisfaction and joy to their manager Dario. He hopes that this title will push the boys to challenge for the division title next season. River Plate, a D2 team, showed up in both matches and fight till the end, but unfortunately was not enough. We have to congratulate their manager Master T for amazing work and fight till last minute. In this season WCC competition, they managed to kick out teams like Porto, Verona, Levante etc. Amazing work!
In WCC we see a big surprise. D2 team Stoke City managed to beat D1 team Bayer Leverkusen (1-1; 2-1). Stoke, who managed before to kick out teams like Benfica, took an opportunity and delivered title to their fans. A pure joy and big celebration in a cold and rainy evening at Stoke. Manager Andrew Kelly, staff members, and his players celebrated all night. They will face a tough time getting fit for the last game of the season. This game can be crucial in the race to stay a D2 team. On the other side, Leverkusen manager Marco G and players are now in a small downfall with confidence. In less than a week they lost two finals, Youth Shield and now also WCS competition. The manager now hopes that players earn at least a point in the last game of the season. This will help keep the club in D1.
At that point, I want to thank all Top100 managers. Your cooperation in this season edition of WCC and WCS is greatly appreciated. In the next days, we will introduce a new format for the competition. This will bring even more exciting games for the new season.

WCC and WCS final
