2022 Women's International Champions Cup

The Women's International Champions Cup (WICC) is an annual club women's soccer invitational tournament in the United States. Launched by Relevent Sports Group in 2018, it features four women's soccer teams from America and Europe competing for the championship.[1] As FIFA currently only organizes a men's club world championship—the FIFA Club World Cup—the competition aims to be the annual decider for the best women's club soccer team in the world.[2][3][4]
