History
Recognsing the importance of the club game in CP Football and it's history of stimulating the formation of national teams in many countries, IFCPF formalised the Club World Cup to provide an international competition opportunity for clubs and many more players worldwide.
The Barcelona Trophy has been an important international development event in CP Football for many years, seeing numerous countries make their international debut and gain valuable experience at the next level of competition.
With a variety of club and national teams having stepped onto the Clot de la Mel in previous editions, the forming of the Club World Cup provides an opportunity for club teams to take the next step from their national championships to test themselves against clubs from across the globe.
We are grateful to the Local Organising Committee, Federació Esportiva Catalana Paralítics Cerebrals, who always take up the opportunity to host important CP Football events and support IFCPF. FECPC hosted the first international CP Football Development Camp for female players, and in the past weeks hosted the first IFCPF Women's World Cup in Salou.
