In 2009, each team played the other three teams in the tournament once in a round-robin tournament format, with each game played at a neutral venue in the United States. Chelsea F.C. emerged as the World Football Challenge champion for 2009.
The 2011 World Football Challenge was held in July and August 2011. It featured thirteen different squads meeting up in fourteen matches across the United States. The tournament format was considerably different than the 2009 event, due to the increase in number of teams. This is the first WFC event that MLS teams participated in. Real Madrid emerged as the World Football Challenge champion for 2011.
