Chelsea have officially updated their honours board to reflect their status as the 'first ever' Club World Cup champions.
The Blues beat Champions League winners, and favourites for the Club World Cup, Paris Saint-Germain 3-0 in the final of the tournament just over a week ago.
It was a shock result, but an emphatic win on the night, with Chelsea taking home the all-new trophy, as well as a hefty cash prize in the first iteration of the tournament in its 32-team format. It had previously been fought between just six or eight teams.
After the Blues' victory, it was announced that previous winners of the Club World Cup would now be known as 'FIFA Intercontinental Champions', with FIFA themselves dubbing Enzo Maresca's side as 'the first ever FIFA CWC Champions' on social media.
This means that the the likes of Liverpool, Manchester City, Manchester United, Real Madrid and Barcelona are effectively no longer world champions, while Chelsea also previously won the trophy in 2021.
And the Blues have been quick to reflect the change in direction when updating their club honours board.
On Chelsea's website under the 'Men's trophy cabinet' section, a new addition was noticed by eagle-eyed fans.
Listing their triumphs below a section of text that read: 'Chelsea have won it all! Here we detail each and every one of our major trophy triumphs...,' the club added the FIFA Club World Cup from 2025.
This was followed by a change to their triumph in the tournament's previous iteration, with this listed as the 'FIFA Intercontinental Cup (formerly FIFA Club World Cup)' from 2021.
Back then, Chelsea beat Palmeiras 2-1 after extra time in the final thanks to a late Kai Havertz penalty.
City won the original competition in 2023, Liverpool lifted it in 2019 and United in 2008.
However, as of Tuesday morning, the three other English sides were yet to follow Chelsea's example in changing their honours roll.
All of City, Liverpool and United were still listed as previous FIFA Club World Cup champions on their websites.
Meanwhile, the competition had first been played in 2000 as the Club World Championship.
It returned in 2005, and was played annually until 2023, before adopting its current form as the FIFA Intercontinental Cup in light of the Club World Cup this summer.
Real Madrid won it the most times with five - most recently in 2022 - while Barcelona won it four times, and Corinthians and Bayern Munich twice.
Real won the FIFA Intercontinental Cup in 2024, and it will return in 2025 where PSG will be representing Europe by virtue of winning Champions League.

just because FIFA decided to change the name ....it doesn't change anything...it's the same fkn tournament.
It's not the same. The CWC has been expanded and contains more teams than the previous ones. Also more competitive than previous ones. You have to play more games before winning it, unlike the previous one, which had only two games for the European teams. Chelsea has won both previous and new formats. Comparing the new CWC with the previous ones shows that you're suffering from low IQ🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Really, from a Liverpool fan, tell yourself the truth if it's your club, would you have said so? Give honour to who honour is due We are the club world champion, give us the respect we deserve
