Notes

{{reflist|group=note}}

Matches were to be played in Madrid, A Coruña and Santiago de Compostela.{{fact|date=September 2023}}

Due to the expansion of the tournament to 12 teams, the group stage saw the teams divided into three groups of four. The top team in each group and the best second-placed team qualified for the semi-finals.

The group stage draw was held on 6 March 2001 at the Congress Centre in A Coruña;{{cite news |url=http://www.fifa.com/en/comp/index/0,2442,22592,00.html?comp=CWC&year=2005&articleid=22592 |title=Spain 2001: results of the draw |work=FIFA |date=6 March 2001 |access-date=4 January 2021 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070520175245/http://fifa.com/en/comp/index/0,2442,22592,00.html?comp=CWC&year=2005&articleid=22592#selection-889.1-770.135 |archive-date=20 May 2007 }} however, on 18 May 2001, FIFA confirmed that the tournament had been cancelled. They made plans to hold an expanded, 16-team tournament in 2003, again in Spain, but it was ultimately not until 2005 in Japan that the tournament was finally resurrected, but with a reduced format.{{cite news |url=https://thesefootballtimes.co/2018/11/08/remembering-the-ill-fated-club-world-cup-of-2001/ |title=Remembering the ill-fated Club World Cup of 2001 |publisher=The Football Times |date=8 November 2018 |access-date=11 September 2023 }}
