International Women's Club Championship
The International Women's Club Championship, previously named the mobcast Cup and the Nestlé Cup for sponsorship reasons, was an invitational association football tournament contested by women's clubs. It was organised by the Japan Football Association and the Nadeshiko League. The first IWCC took place in Japan in November 2012 with participation from four teams: Olympique Lyonnais, Canberra United, INAC Kobe Leonessa and NTV Beleza.
The tournament billed itself as a world championship and frequently invited domestic and continental champions from around the world. The Nadeshiko League's senior executive announced in October 2012 that they intended to run the competition for three years and expand to include more champions, such as the South American Copa Libertadores winner. It was envisaged that FIFA, the sport's global governing body, would ultimately endorse the tournament as the female equivalent of the FIFA Club World Cup.
