A world championship is generally an international sports competition open to elite competitors from across the world, representing their nations, and winning such an event will be considered the highest or near highest achievement in the sport or contest.
The title is usually awarded through a combination of specific contests or, less commonly, ranking systems (e.g. the ICC Test Championship), or a combination of the two (e.g. World Triathlon Championships in Triathlon). This determines a 'world champion', who or which is commonly considered the best nation, team, individual (or other entity) in the world in a particular field, although the vagaries of sport ensure that the competitor recognised at the best in an event is not always the 'world champion' (see Underdog).
Certain sports do not have a world championship, instead they may organise a world cup competition, or they may organize both. Often, the use of the term cup or championship in this sense is just a choice of words. Some sports have multiple champions because of multiple organizations such as mixed martial arts, boxing and wrestling.

* VakifBank Istanbul vs Hisamitsu Springs Kobe / 18 Oct / FIVB Women's Club World Volleyball Championship 2016 VakifBank, who won a gold (2013) and a silver (2011) in their previous outings, have never competed against a Japanese side. Their only encounter with an Asian club was a straight-set win over China's Guangdong Evrgrande Guangzhou in the 2013 semifinals in Zurich. Hisamitsu Springs, hosts of the next edition of the FIVB Club World Championship next year in Kobe, have finished 5th in both their previous appearances in the competition (2014 and 2015). They have played once before against a Turkish club, stunning Eczacibasi VitrA Istanbul last year in Zurich in four sets - though Eczacibasi went on to win the title.

* Bangkok Glass (THA) vs Hisamitsu Springs Kobe (JPN) / 20 Oct / Women's Club World Volleyball Championship 2016 * Manila, Philippines, October 20, 2016 - The two winless teams of Pool B at the 2016 FIVB Women's Club World Championship go for their first victory as Hisamitsu Springs and Bangkok Glass clash in the Asian derby to open Day 3 at the Mall of Asia Arena. In theory only the Thai side have slim mathematical chances of advancing to the semifinals, though they'd have to pull off two major upsets in their remaining matches to do so. The Japanese side's second defeat on Wednesday in as many matches, means they're out of contention for the medals and can only chase tying their previous best finish of 5th. Bangkok Glass - Bangkok Glass are making their debut appearance in the FIVB ...
