The 2017 FIFA Club World Cup final was the final match of the 2017 FIFA Club World Cup, the 14th edition of the FIFA Club World Cup, a FIFA-organised football tournament contested by the winners of the six continental confederations, as well as the host nation's league champions. The final was played at the Zayed Sports City Stadium in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates on 16 December 2017 and was contested between Spanish club and title holders Real Madrid, representing UEFA as the reigning champions of the UEFA Champions League, and Brazilian club Grêmio, representing CONMEBOL as the reigning champions of the Copa Libertadores.[3]

Real Madrid won the match 1–0 via a goal from Cristiano Ronaldo for their third FIFA Club World Cup title. This was the first time a team had successfully defended the FIFA Club World Cup title, after Real won the previous year. The victory also marked the tenth time a UEFA team had won the Club World Cup.
