The '''CIP World Championship''' is an international [[Peil]] competition held every four years and contested by teams representing member nations. The competition is organized by the [[International Federation of Peil]] (CIP), the international body of football. Despite all nations (and some territories) being eligible for the competition, due to the sport's global lack of popularity the most recent competition ([[2023 CIP World Championship |2023]]) only featured thirteen teams 

== Format ==
The tournament consists of a group stage and playoff format. The group stage consists of four groups of three. If there is more than twelve teams competing, a player-in game or tournament will be held between the worst or newest teams in the confederation. The top seed in every group qualifies for the championship tournament. The group  winners are seeded based on win-loss record, point differential and then points for. The second place finisher in every group qualifies for the fifth place playoff, with the same seeding system. The last place finisher qualifies for the loser's playoff again with the same seeding system. The winners in the first round of the fifth place and championship playoff advance to each playoff's respective final. The losers in the loser's playoff advance to the last place game. The losers in the first round of the championship playoff advances to the third place playoff. 

The current tournament format has been in place since 2011 when the tournament expanded to 13 teams, but the tournament has featured a variety of formats. In 1999 with only six teams, the tournament featured two groups of three with the first place finishers advancing to play each other in a final. In 2003, the tournament expanded to eight teams and the groups to four teams, and a third place game was added, between the second finisher in each group. In 2007 the groups were again expanded to five teams, with the top two finishers in each group advancing to a four team playoff. This last format was heavily criticized for having too many games as injuries increased during the 2007 tournament.
