FIFA has confirmed that the champions of the Intercontinental Cup, held between 1960 and 2004, are officially recognized as world club champions. In this way, to dispel any doubts, Boca Juniors maintains its eternal status as three-time world champion thanks to its feats in 1977 against Borussia Mönchengladbach, in 2000 against Real Madrid, and in 2003 against Milan.

The Intercontinental was not just a simple match: it was the ultimate challenge between the giants of Europe and South America. A direct duel, with no margin for error, at an elite level and with absolute glory at stake. Its recognition as a world title reflects what it always was: a major, historic achievement of the highest order in club football.
