It was the ninth final of the FIFA Club World Cup, a FIFA-organised tournament between the winners of the six continental confederations as well as the host nation's league champions. The final was contested between CONMEBOL winners Corinthians and UEFA winners Chelsea, and took place at the International Stadium Yokohama in Yokohama on 16 December 2012. Corinthians defeated Chelsea 1–0 after a header from Paolo Guerrero, which meant Corinthians won their second FIFA Club World Cup, then known as FIFA Club World Championship, twelve years after winning their first in 2000. The match kicked-off at 19:30 JST and was officiated by Turkish referee Cüneyt Çakır. Both clubs entered the competition after winning their respective club football competitions. Corinthians won the 2012 Copa Libertadores, following a 2–0 win against Boca Juniors in the final, while Chelsea won the 2011–12 UEFA Champions League, having defeated Bayern Munich 4–3 in a penalty shoot-out, after being held 1–1 in normal time. This was Corinthians's second time competing and winning the tournament (also becoming the last South American and non-European team doing it), after having won the competition in 2000, with a 4–3 penalty shoot-out win over Vasco da Gama. Background The International Stadium Yokohama had hosted the FIFA Club World Cup finals five times, with the 2009 and 2010 finals being held at the Zayed Sports City Stadium in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates. Brazilian sides have been the most dominant side of any other South American teams, with the first dating back in 2000, where Corinthians won the competition for the first time, then known as FIFA Club World Championship, where they beat Vasco da Gama 4–3 in a penalty shoot-out.https://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/special_report/1999/12/99/world_club_championship/604434.stm Corinthians crowned world champions 15 January 2000 BBC Sport 6 May 2021 25 February 2021 https://web.archive.org/web/20210225142027/http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/special_report/1999/12/99/world_club_championship/604434.stm live This was followed by wins from São Paulo, who beat Liverpool 1–0 and Internacional with the same scoreline against Barcelona.
