The '''FIFA Confederations Cup''' is an international [[association football]] tournament for national teams, currently held every four years by [[FIFA]]. It is contested by the holders of each of the six ([[UEFA]], [[CONMEBOL]], [[CONCACAF]], [[Confederation of African Football|CAF]], [[Asian Football Confederation|AFC]], [[Oceania Football Confederation|OFC]]) regional championships, along with the [[FIFA World Cup]] holder and the host nation, to bring the number of teams up to eight. |
|||
Since 2005, the tournament has been held in the nation that will host the FIFA World Cup in the following year, acting as a rehearsal for the larger tournament. However, [[2022 FIFA World Cup]] host [[Qatar]] will not host [[2021 FIFA Confederations Cup]] as announced by FIFA in 2015 due to Qatar's high temperatures during the summer period. This is the first edition, since the [[2003 FIFA Confederations Cup]], that the tournament host is not hosting the next FIFA World Cup. |
|||
The reigning Champion is [[Brazil national football team|Brazil]] who won the [[2013 FIFA Confederations Cup]], by defeating [[Spain national football team|Spain]] 3–0 in [[2013 FIFA Confederations Cup Final|the final]] for a record fourth title. They will not be able to defend their title, as they were eliminated by [[Paraguay national football team|Paraguay]] in a penalty shoot-out in the Quarter-Finals of the [[2015 Copa América]]. |

==History and details== |
|||
[[File:Deutschland - Brasilien (Confed-Cup) 6.JPG|thumb|left|[[Germany national football team|Germany]] against [[Brazil national football team|Brazil]] in the [[Grundig-Stadion]] in [[Nuremberg]], Germany in the [[2005 FIFA Confederations Cup]]]] |

The tournament was originally organized by and held in [[Saudi Arabia]] and called the '''King Fahd Cup''' (''Confederations Winners Cup'' or ''Intercontinental Championship''), contested in [[1992 King Fahd Cup|1992]] and [[1995 King Fahd Cup|1995]] by the Saudi national side and some continental champions. In 1997, [[FIFA]] took over the organization of the tournament, named it the ''FIFA Confederations Cup'' and staged the competition every two years.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.fifa4s.com/fs-207_01e_fcc.pdf |title=FIFA Confederations Cup|format=PDF}}</ref> |
|||
Since 2005, it has been held every four years, in the year prior to each [[FIFA World Cup|World Cup]] in the host country of the forthcoming World Cup (the 2001 edition was hosted in [[South Korea]] and [[Japan]], before the quadrennial pattern was established). Considered a dress-rehearsal for the World Cup it precedes, it uses around half of the stadia intended for use at the following year's competition and gives the host nation, which qualifies for that tournament automatically, experience at a high level of competition during two years of otherwise [[Exhibition game#Association football|friendlies]]. At the same time, participation was made optional for the South American and European champions.<ref>{{cite news |url=http://www.fifa.com/aboutfifa/organisation/news/newsid=95756/index.html |title=2005/2006 season: final worldwide matchday to be 14 May 2006 |publisher=[[FIFA]] |accessdate=6 January 2012 |date=19 December 2004}}</ref> |
|||
Generally, the host nation, the World Cup holders, and the six continental champions qualify for the competition. In those cases where a team meets more than one of the qualification criteria (such as the [[2001 FIFA Confederations Cup|2001 tournament]] where [[France national football team|France]] qualified as the World Cup champions and European champions), another team is invited to participate, often the runner-up in a competition that the extra-qualified team won. |
|||
On four occasions teams have chosen not to participate in the tournament. [[Germany national football team|Germany]] did so twice, first in the [[1997 FIFA Confederations Cup|1997 Confederations Cup]] after their victory in the [[UEFA Euro 1996|Euro 1996]], and again in the [[2003 FIFA Confederations Cup|2003 Confederations Cup]] when they were awarded a place as the [[2002 FIFA World Cup|2002 World Cup]] runners-up. In 1997, Germany were replaced by 1996 runners-up [[Czech Republic national football team|Czech Republic]], and in 2003 they were replaced by [[Turkey national football team|Turkey]], the 2002 third place team. |
|||
France, [[1998 FIFA World Cup|1998 World Cup]] winners, declined their place in the [[1999 FIFA Confederations Cup|1999 Confederations Cup]], and were replaced by [[Brazil national football team|Brazil]], the 1998 World Cup runners-up (and also [[1997 Copa América]] champions). Italy, [[UEFA Euro 2000]] runners up, declined their place in the 2003 FIFA Confederations Cup. |
|||
An earlier tournament existed that invited former World Cup winners, the [[1980 Mundialito|Mundialito]], or '''Copa de Oro''' which celebrated the fiftieth anniversary of the first World Cup. The [[Artemio Franchi Trophy]], contested in 1985 and 1993 between the winners of the [[Copa América]] and [[UEFA European Football Championship]], was also another example of an earlier contest between football confederations. Both of these are considered by some to be a form of an unofficial precursor to the Confederations Cup, although FIFA recognised only the 1992 tournaments onwards to be Confederations Cup winners.<ref name="artemio">{{cite web |url=http://www.rsssf.com/tablesi/intconcup.html |title=Intercontinental Cup for Nations |publisher=RSSSF |accessdate=6 January 2012 |date=16 July 2009}}</ref> |
|||
==Format== |
|||
The 8 qualified teams are drawn into two [[Round-robin tournament|round-robin]] groups: two teams from the same confederation cannot be drawn in a group, except if there are three teams from the same confederation (something that happened for the first time in the [[2017 FIFA Confederations Cup|2017 edition]] when [[2018 FIFA World Cup|hosts]] [[Russia national football team|Russia]] were joined by [[2014 FIFA World Cup|World Cup]] champions [[Germany national football team|Germany]] and [[2016 UEFA Euro|European]] champions [[Portugal national football team|Portugal]]). Every team plays all other teams in their group once, for a total three matches. |
|||
The top two teams of each group advance to the semi-finals, with the winners of each group playing the runners-up of the other group. The rankings of teams in each group are determined as follows (regulations Article 19.6):<ref name="regulations"/> |
|||
{{ordered list|start=1 |
|||
| points obtained in all group matches; |
|||
| goal difference in all group matches; |
|||
| number of goals scored in all group matches; |
|||
}} |
|||
If two or more teams are equal on the basis of the above three criteria, their rankings are determined as follows: |
|||
{{ordered list|start=4 |
|||
| points obtained in the group matches between the teams concerned; |
|||
| goal difference in the group matches between the teams concerned; |
|||
| number of goals scored in the group matches between the teams concerned; |
|||
| fair play points {{unordered list |
|||
| first yellow card: minus 1 point; |
|||
| indirect red card (second yellow card): minus 3 points; |
|||
| direct red card: minus 4 points; |
|||
| yellow card and direct red card: minus 5 points; |
|||
}} |
|||
| drawing of lots by the FIFA Organising Committee. |
|||
}} |
|||
The winners of the semi-finals advance to the final, while the losers play in the third-place game. For the knockout stage if the score is drawn at the end of regular time, [[Overtime (sports)#Association football|extra time]] is played (two periods of 15 minutes each) and followed, if necessary, by a [[penalty shoot-out (association football)|penalty shoot-out]] to determine the winner. |

2017 FIFA Confederations Cup |
The FIFA Confederations Cup is an international association football tournament for national teams, currently held every four years by FIFA. It is contested by the holders of each of the six (UEFA, CONMEBOL, CONCACAF, CAF, AFC, OFC) regional championships, along with the FIFA World Cup holder and the host nation, to bring the number of teams up to eight.
Since 2005, the tournament has been held in the nation that will host the FIFA World Cup in the following year, acting as a rehearsal for the larger tournament. However, 2022 FIFA World Cup host Qatar will not host 2021 FIFA Confederations Cup as announced by FIFA in 2015 due to Qatar's high temperatures during the summer period. This is the first edition, since the 2003 FIFA Confederations Cup, that the tournament host is not hosting the next FIFA World Cup.
The reigning Champion is Brazil who won the 2013 FIFA Confederations Cup, by defeating Spain 3–0 in the final for a record fourth title. They will not be able to defend their title, as they were eliminated by Paraguay in a penalty shoot-out in the Quarter-Finals of the 2015 Copa América.
History and details
The tournament was originally organized by and held in Saudi Arabia and called the King Fahd Cup (Confederations Winners Cup or Intercontinental Championship), contested in 1992 and 1995 by the Saudi national side and some continental champions. In 1997, FIFA took over the organization of the tournament, named it the FIFA Confederations Cup and staged the competition every two years.[1]
Since 2005, it has been held every four years, in the year prior to each World Cup in the host country of the forthcoming World Cup (the 2001 edition was hosted in South Korea and Japan, before the quadrennial pattern was established). Considered a dress-rehearsal for the World Cup it precedes, it uses around half of the stadia intended for use at the following year's competition and gives the host nation, which qualifies for that tournament automatically, experience at a high level of competition during two years of otherwise friendlies. At the same time, participation was made optional for the South American and European champions.[2]
Generally, the host nation, the World Cup holders, and the six continental champions qualify for the competition. In those cases where a team meets more than one of the qualification criteria (such as the 2001 tournament where France qualified as the World Cup champions and European champions), another team is invited to participate, often the runner-up in a competition that the extra-qualified team won.
On four occasions teams have chosen not to participate in the tournament. Germany did so twice, first in the 1997 Confederations Cup after their victory in the Euro 1996, and again in the 2003 Confederations Cup when they were awarded a place as the 2002 World Cup runners-up. In 1997, Germany were replaced by 1996 runners-up Czech Republic, and in 2003 they were replaced by Turkey, the 2002 third place team.
France, 1998 World Cup winners, declined their place in the 1999 Confederations Cup, and were replaced by Brazil, the 1998 World Cup runners-up (and also 1997 Copa América champions). Italy, UEFA Euro 2000 runners up, declined their place in the 2003 FIFA Confederations Cup.
An earlier tournament existed that invited former World Cup winners, the Mundialito, or Copa de Oro which celebrated the fiftieth anniversary of the first World Cup. The Artemio Franchi Trophy, contested in 1985 and 1993 between the winners of the Copa América and UEFA European Football Championship, was also another example of an earlier contest between football confederations. Both of these are considered by some to be a form of an unofficial precursor to the Confederations Cup, although FIFA recognised only the 1992 tournaments onwards to be Confederations Cup winners.[3]
Format
The 8 qualified teams are drawn into two round-robin groups: two teams from the same confederation cannot be drawn in a group, except if there are three teams from the same confederation (something that happened for the first time in the 2017 edition when hosts Russia were joined by World Cup champions Germany and European champions Portugal). Every team plays all other teams in their group once, for a total three matches.
The top two teams of each group advance to the semi-finals, with the winners of each group playing the runners-up of the other group. The rankings of teams in each group are determined as follows (regulations Article 19.6):[4]
- points obtained in all group matches;
- goal difference in all group matches;
- number of goals scored in all group matches;
If two or more teams are equal on the basis of the above three criteria, their rankings are determined as follows:
- points obtained in the group matches between the teams concerned;
- goal difference in the group matches between the teams concerned;
- number of goals scored in the group matches between the teams concerned;
- fair play points
- first yellow card: minus 1 point;
- indirect red card (second yellow card): minus 3 points;
- direct red card: minus 4 points;
- yellow card and direct red card: minus 5 points;
- drawing of lots by the FIFA Organising Committee.
The winners of the semi-finals advance to the final, while the losers play in the third-place game. For the knockout stage if the score is drawn at the end of regular time, extra time is played (two periods of 15 minutes each) and followed, if necessary, by a penalty shoot-out to determine the winner.
