Excerpt: The European-South American Cup, commonly referred to in South America as the World Club Championship, Intercontinental Cup or (after 1980) Toyota Cup, was a football competition endorsed by UEFA and CONMEBOL, contested between the winners of the European Cup and the South American Copa Libertadores. The cup trophy bears the words "Coupe Europeenne-Sudamericaine" (European-South American Cup) at the top. At the base of the trophy, there is a drawing of two maps, one from Europe, another from South America. From its formation in 1960 to 1979, the competition was contested over a two legged tie, with a playoff if necessary until 1968, and penalty kicks later. By 1971, European participation in the Intercontinental Cup became a running question, and many European teams withdrew. From 1980 until 2004, the competition was contested over a single match held in Japan and organized by Toyota, which offered a secondary trophy, the Toyota Cup. The competition was considered until the creation of its successor, the FIFA Club World Cup, the most important tournament at international level in which any club could participate, for that reason all the winner teams were symbolically recognised by many people (mainly in South America) as being world club champions. However, FIFA (the sole soccer/association football official authority at world level) has never officially declared the Intercontinental Cup as a Club World Cup (though FIFA admits that that Cup was seen as a Club World title by many people, mainly in South America), therefore one's seeing the Intercontinental Cup as a Club World title remains as a matter of personal opinion, not an officially determined fact. In the only one official FIFA document to mention the Intercontinental Cup, FIFA regards it as CONMEBOL/UEFA competition (not a FIFA competition) and as a competition merged in 2005 to the FIFA Club World Cup; in this document, FIFA does not equalise the 1960-2004 editions of the Intercontinental Cup to the FIFA Cl
