The Challenger's Cup is an international football club competition organized by the IFCF involving the three highest-placed teams from each association which did not qualify for the Champions' League. Teams which are eliminated from the Champions' League over the course of the season also enter the Challenger's Cup. The competition is the successor to the UICA Globe Cup.
After a qualifying phase, 48 teams contest the group stage. Divided into groups of four, they play a home-and-away round robin with the top two teams of each group advancing to the first knockout round of 32 teams, where they are joined by teams finishing third in the group stage of the Champions' League.
The inaugural Challenger's Cup saw Malabon SC becomes the first Fleftic club to win a major international club title as they beat Port Sebastian 1-0 at Macquarie Docklands in Latrobe.
