Unofficial Clubteams World Championship
The Unofficial Clubteams World Championship (UCWC) is an informal way of calculating the world's 'best' football team in hattrick, using a knock-out title system similar to that used in boxing and wrestling.
During the first season in which there was an A and a B competition, the match between Hammers ICF - Menlösa IF on 31-08-1997 was chosen as the first official match to decide the UCWC title, in which Menlösa IF took the title with a 0-4 victory. Note that other matches could have been taken as the first UCWC title match, but eventually they would all have lead to the same champion.
Rules
- When the titleholder is playing a match, it is regarded as a title match in which the UCWC title is at stake, but only if the match is one of the following types:
- For matches of other types the title is not at stake and for purposes of the UCWC not included. Specifically, this means that Tournament and Exhibition matches are not taken into account, as these are not available for all users but only to users buying Hattrick Supporter.
- In the event of a title match being a draw, the current holders of the title remain champions.
- UFWC title matches are decided by their ultimate outcome, including extra time and penalties.

Statistics
| Further information: Unofficial Clubteams World Championship Statistics |
Using the UCWC ranking metric, measuring which team is the best UCWC team throughout history, Ukrainian team FC Granit clearly holds this title by a long margin. FC Granit managed the longest single title run in history, both in number of days (109), as well as in number of matches (29).
Belgian team Lokomotiv Veltem Back-on-Track holds the records for having held the title for the most days (213) and matches (56), but has done so over several runs, gaining the title no less than 14 times (also a record).
The most successful nation by far is Sweden, mainly driven by the fact that the UCWC title remained uncontested outside the country from its inception in 1997 for five years until the title first went abroad in 2002.
