2001 Júbilo Iwata season

Júbilo Iwata was granted a Bye on the first and second rounds.

Júbilo Iwata qualified for this tournament as winners of the 1999 season.

As winners of the 1999 Asian Super Cup, Júbilo Iwata was one of the 12 teams that were invited to the 2001 FIFA Club World Championship, which would be hosted in Spain from 28 July to 12 August 2001.

However, the tournament was cancelled, primarily due to the collapse of ISL, which was marketing partner of FIFA at the time.
