In recent times, it has been seen as a warm-up event in the host country of the next FIFA World Cup™, but is by no means a minor competition. In fact, due to the nature of its participants, it is often referred to as the ‘Festival of Champions’ tournament. The FIFA Confederations Cup aims to give the top teams from all continents a chance to represent their region in a world play-off, and this opportunity – together with the handsome prize money that goes with it – is particularly important and appealing to teams from certain developing football continents. History The FIFA Confederations Cup was first designated a FIFA competition in December 1997 when it was held in Riyadh in Saudi Arabia. Previously there had been two other tournaments in Riyadh, in 1992 and 1995, under the title of Intercontinental Championship. In 1992, the winners were Argentina, then reigning South American champions. They came with a starstudded team including Batistuta, Redondo, Caniggia and Simeone and carried off the trophy after defeating the host country, despite their tremendous support from the home fans, in the final. The other two teams taking part on that occasion were the USA and Côte d’Ivoire. Six teams took part in the 1995 competition and this time it was Denmark who took the honours, with strong performances from the Laudrup brothers earning them victory over Argentina. Mexico and Nigeria made it to the semi-finals, while Japan and the host country were eliminated after losing both of their group matches. In 1997, Brazil promptly stamped their authority on the competition to win the striking new gold trophy. One of the main purposes of the tournament was clearly demonstrated when Australia made it to the final to take on the then world champions. In 1999, the Mexicans richly deserved to win the cup as one of two teams unbeaten in the group stage to make it to the final. The home ”Azteca” factor – Mexico had not been beaten there for 18 years – could not be ignored. Brazil lived up to expectations as their talent factory continued to produce outstanding players. The tournament also witnessed a standard of goalkeepers seldom seen in a single tournament with the likes of Keller (USA), Campos (MEX), Dida (BRA) and Utting (NZL) competing. Surprise packages Saudi Arabia recovered after a 5-1 thrashing by Mexico in their opening match to qualify for the semi-finals, following a 5-1 win in an all-Arab clash with Egypt. The USA defeated giants Germany only to later narrowly fail to a golden goal by Mexico’s top scorer Blanco. New Zealand went home happy after gamely facing up to Germany and the USA. In Korea/Japan in 2001, a near-capacity crowd of over 65,000 saw world champions France defeat co-hosts Japan with the only goal of the final to win the tournament and complete an unprecedented hat-trick of three major trophies in just four years. But they had to defend resolutely at times as Japan staged a secondhalf fight-back. In 2003, defending and European champions France hosted the FIFA Confederations Cup, organising matches in three of the 1998 World Cup stadiums – Lyons, St Etienne and Paris/St Denis. Brazil had to accept an early flight home after the group stage, bowing out of a tough group of strong performers in the shape of Cameroon, Turkey and the USA. The revitalised hosts, on the other hand, won their group. Turkey consolidated their rise as a global football power and only just missed out on a place in the final. The event was overshadowed by the tragic death of Cameroonian midfielder Marc-Vivien Foe, whose team-mates conceded the title to France by a whisker in an emotionally charged final against an equally shaken French side. FIFA Communications & Public Affairs – Documentation FIFA Confederations Cup Brazil 2013 3 Despite the absence of superstar striker Ronaldo from the FCC 2005, Brazil dazzled in an exciting final against rivals Argentina to lift the trophy for the second time. Adriano gained justified recognition as a force to be reckoned with, earning both the adidas Golden Ball and Golden Shoe awards. While Argentina’s defeat was hard to take, their performance clearly showed a hint of great things to come with the competition shining a spotlight on the magical skills of their key player, Riquelme. The competition also displayed German prowess in the shape of a well-organised dry run for the 2006 FIFA World Cup™ and the emergence of a young and promising German team – in particular, the partnership of up-and-coming starlets Podolski and Schweinsteiger – under the watchful eye of footballing legend Jürgen Klinsmann, enabling them to secure third-place in a thrilling extra time play-off against Mexico. In 2009, for the first time in the history of the FIFA Confederations Cup, the event took place on African soil. South Africa certainly proved themselves capable of hosting the 2010 FIFA World Cup™ and impressively presented some of their World Cup host cities – Johannesburg, Rustenburg, Mangaung/Bloemfontein und Tshwane/Pretoria. The gripping tournament in South Africa ended with a worthy final in Johannesburg with both Brazil and the USA battling for the title. After a 3-2 victory, it was Brazil who lifted the trophy for the third time.

A Seleção have also won the most titles (three in 1997, 2005 and2009) played the most matches (28), won the most games (18) and scored the most goals (64). Brazil claimed their three FIFA Confederations Cup titles on three different continents, having lifted the trophy in Mexico in 1997, Germany in 2005 and South Africa in 2009. Whenever Brazil have been crowned FIFA Confederations Cup champions, the following FIFA World Cup TM has been won by a European side, namely France in 1998, Italy in 2006 and Spain in 2010. Brazil have won their last seven FIFA Confederations Cup matches and are unbeaten in eight. Their most recent defeat stretches back to 2005, when Mexico beat them 1-0 win in Hanover. The record for the most appearances in the FIFA Confederations Cup is held by Brazil’s Dida, who played 22 games over five campaigns between 1997 and 2005.

The Samurai Blue have accrued more participations and more matches (13) than any other Asian side in the event’s history. In the 2001 edition played in Korea/Japan, Japan came second after losing the final 1-0 to the reigning world champions France. Patrick Vieira’s match-winner was the only goal that Japan conceded during the campaign. On their last appearance in 2005, Japan were eliminated in the opening round solely on account of their goal difference, which was worse than Brazil’s. Shunsuke Nakamura and Hidetoshi Nakata are the only Japanese players to have scored in two different editions of the FIFA Confederations Cup. Nakamura netted three goals in 2003 and one in 2005, whereas Nakata was on target once in both the 2001 and 2003 editions. The only home-grown coach to have led Japan at the FIFA Confederations Cup was Shu Kamo, during their debut participation in 1995. Each of their subsequent campaigns were overseen by foreign coaches, namely France’s Philippe Troussier in 2001 and Brazil’s Zico in 2003 and 2005.

El Tri are the only CONCACAF team to have won the trophy, achieving the feat as hosts in 1999 with a 4-3 win over Brazil in the final. That deciding match of the FIFA Confederations Cup 1999 generated the biggest attendance in the tournament’s history, with 110,000 spectators packing into Mexico City’s Azteca stadium on 4 August. Cuauhtemoc Blanco is the all-time joint top-scorer in the FIFA Confederations Cup with nine goals, the same number as Brazil’s Ronaldinho. The Mexican hit three goals in 1997 and six in the victorious 1999 campaign. Mexico were involved in five of the eight FIFA Confederations Cup matches that have gone into extra time. Two of those games finished straight after the added half-hour, with Mexico winning one and losing one. The other three continued to penalty shoot-outs, only one of which culminated in a Tricolor victory.

During their only previous participation in 2009, Italy were eliminated in the opening round following a 3-1 win over USA and two losses, 1-0 to Egypt and 3-0 to Brazil. Also at South Africa 2009, Italy were drawn in the same group as the two eventual finalists, Brazil and USA. The last match Italy played on Brazilian soil dates back to 1 July 1956, when they lost 2-0 to the host team in a friendly. Prior to that Gli Azzurri had contested two games at the 1950 FIFA World Cup, losing 3-2 to Sweden and beating Paraguay 2-0.

During that 2009 campaign Spain kept clean sheets in each of their three group matches, a feat previously achieved twice by Brazil (in 1999 and 2001) and once by Japan (2001) and Cameroon (2003). The 2-0 defeat to USA in the semi-finals of the FIFA Confederations Cup 2009 ended Spain’s sequence of 35 matches undefeated, which equalled Brazil's world record set between 1993 and 1996. The run had begun on 7 February 2007 with a 1-0 victory over England in Manchester. In the match against New Zealand, Fernando Torres scored the only hat-trick of the FIFA Confederations Cup 2009, the eighth in the history of the tournament. It was also the second treble netted by a European player, after Vladimir Smicer in Czech Republic’s 6-1 defeat of United Arab Emirates in 1997. No fewer than 18 members of the Spanish squad at the FIFA Confederations Cup 2009 went on to be crowned world champions the following year in South Africa.

In their only previous FIFA Confederations Cup campaign, Uruguay won their three group matches before losing their semi-final against Australia 1-0 after extra time. The winner was a golden goal struck by Harry Kewell on 92 minutes. Uruguay’s return to the FIFA Confederations Cup after a 16-year absence coincides with them winning the Copa America the same number of years since they last won it (1995–2011). Uruguay have scored in three of their five matches played in the competition—against United Arab Emirates, Czech Republic and South Africa—and on each occasion they netted on 88 minutes or later. Uruguay are one of a trio of sides that have played at least five games in the FIFA Confederations Cup without drawing any of them. La Celeste have collected three wins and two defeats in total. The other two teams are France with nine wins and one defeat, and Spain with four wins and one defeat.

The Super Eagles finished fourth in that campaign. Nigeria became the final team to qualify for the FIFA Confederations Cup when they claimed the African title on 10 February with a 1-0 victory over Burkina Faso, thanks to Sunday Mba’s match-winner. Nigeria are one of two unbeaten teams in the history of the FIFA Confederations Cup, having won one match and drawn two. One of those stalemates took place in the match for third place, which the west Africans subsequently lost on penalties. The other undefeated team is Denmark, with two wins and a draw. Nigeria’s 3-0 victory over Japan on their tournament debut in 1995 remains the biggest win by an African team in the FIFA Confederations Cup. The only goal that Nigeria have conceded in the tournament was netted by Mexico’s Ramon Ramirez in the match for third place, which finished 1-1 before the Super Eagles lost on penalties.

Brazil have the upper hand in the head-to-head series with seven wins to Italy’s five, the other two matches having ended drawn. Five of the pair’s previous encounters came in the FIFA World Cup. They include two Finals (in 1970 and 1994), a match for third place (1978), a semi-final (1938), and a second-round group match (1982). Brazil and Italy will meet twice in one year for the third time, two friendly matches in 1956 and a friendly and FIFA Confederations Cup match in 2009 similar to this year with their recent friendly in March and their forthcoming meeting in the FIFA Confederations Cup 2013.

The only one of those matches to be played in Brazil was the first, which took place in Rio de Janeiro in 1989, a week after A Seleção clinched the Copa America. The Brazilians beat Japan 1-0 in that friendly game, courtesy of a solitary goal from Bismarck. The only two meetings in which Japan managed to avoid defeat against Brazil both came in the FIFA Confederations Cup. The Samurai Blue tied 0-0 with the South Americans in 2001 before earning a 2-2 draw in 2005, a result which nevertheless enabled the Brazilians to qualify from the group stage at Japan’s expense on account of their superior goal difference. Japan’s coach during that latter campaign was Brazilian former No10 Zico. Since that 2-2 draw with Japan in Cologne, Brazil have won all seven of their matches played in the FIFA Confederations Cup. They are now one victory short of equalling France’s tournament record of eight consecutive wins, which was established between 2001 and 2003.

Mexico have fared better in FIFA Confederations Cup encounters, with two wins to Brazil’s one. The most important of those victories was undoubtedly the 4-3 win in the final of the 1999 edition, which was played out in the Azteca stadium, Mexico City, in front of 110,000 spectators, the biggest attendance in the tournament’s history. This will be the fourth Brazil-Mexico encounter in the FIFA Confederations Cup, making it the most-played fixture in the history of the competition alongside Brazil-USA, which has also taken place four times. This is Brazil’s 30th match in the FIFA Confederations Cup. The Canarinhos have clocked up the most games of any side in the tournament’s history, followed by none other than Mexico who will be making their 21st appearance.

The last encounter was a friendly match played out in November 2001 in Saitama, which finished 1-1. This will be the first time that Italy have faced Asian opposition in the FIFA Confederations Cup. All three previous FIFA Confederations Cup meetings between Japan and European teams ended with a singlegoal margin separating the sides.

Mexico’s only win over Italy came in the pair’s last friendly encounter, which took place in 2010 ahead of the FIFA World CupTM in South Africa. The game finished 2-1 following goals from Carlos Vela, Alberto Medina and Leonardo Bonucci. In the FIFA World Cup itself, the teams have played out two draws and one win in Italy’s favour. Italy last played on Brazilian soil nearly 57 years ago, in a 2-0 friendly defeat by the host country on 1 July 1956 in Rio de Janeiro.

Brazil hosted the first meeting between Spain and Uruguay, which took place in the final-round group at the 1950 FIFA World Cup and finished 2-2 in Sao Paulo. Their only other encounter in the global extravaganza also ended in a stalemate, 0-0 in Udine in the first round of the 1990 edition.

Spain had twice taken the lead through Fernando Hierro and Raul, only for Nigeria to reply first through Mutiu Adepoju and then with an own goal by Andoni Zubizarreta, before Sunday Oliseh grabbed the winner 12 minutes from the end. Two reigning world champions have been knocked out of the FIFA Confederations Cup in the first round, namely Brazil in 2003 and Italy in 2009. In their first and only prior campaign, in 2009, Spain encountered African opposition twice. Each time La Roja came up against South Africa, beating them 2-0 in the first round and then 3-2 after extra time in the match for third place. FIFA Communications & Public Affairs – Documentation FIFA Confederations Cup Brazil 2013 20 Tahiti - Nigeria: No previous head-to-heads This is the pair’s first meeting at ‘A’ international level, although they did square up at the FIFA U-20 World Cup 2009 in Egypt. Nigeria prevailed 5-0 on that occasion, a first-round match held in Cairo. There have been two prior encounters between African and Oceanian sides in the FIFA Confederations Cup, both of which finished 2-0 in favour of CAF representatives: Tunisia saw off Australia in 2005, before South Africa overcame New Zealand in 2009. Nigeria are one of two undefeated sides in the FIFA Confederations Cup, the other being Denmark. The west Africans went unbeaten in their previous participation in 1995, earning one win, two draws and losing only on penalties to Mexico in the match for third place. Spain - Tahiti: No previous head-to-heads This is the first ‘A’ international meeting between the pair. Four years ago, Spain and Tahiti found themselves pitched together in the same first-round group of the FIFA U-20 World Cup 2009 in Egypt, with the Iberians cantering to a 8-0 win. Spain’s senior international side have met Oceanian opposition only once before, in this very competition in 2009, when they comfortably beat New Zealand 5-0 in Rustenburg. This is the sixth UEFA-OFC showdown in the FIFA Confederations Cup, in which European teams have largely dominated with four wins to one. The only defeat conceded by a UEFA team to Oceanian opponents was a 1-0 upset suffered by reigning world champions France against Australia in 2001. Nigeria – Uruguay: No previous head-to-heads The two countries have never met at senior level, nor have they played each other in the finals of any FIFA competition. Of all the teams participating in the FIFA Confederations Cup 2013, Nigeria and Uruguay have waited the longest to make their respective returns to the competition. The west Africans’ last appearance was in 1995, whereas the South Americans have been absent since 1997. CONMEBOL teams have a superior head-to-head record against their African counterparts in the FIFA Confederations Cup. In ten prior showdowns, South American sides have collected six wins to two, plus two draws. The two African victories were both 1-0 wins to Cameroon over Brazil and Colombia at the 2003 edition. Uruguay - Tahiti: No previous head-to-heads The sides have never met before either at ‘A’ international level, or in the finals of a FIFA competition. Uruguay last faced an Oceanian national team in November 2005, when they lost 1-0 after extra time (and then again on penalties at the end of the match) to Australia in the return leg of the 2006 FIFA World Cup qualifying play-off. There have been two OFC victories over CONMEBOL opposition in the FIFA Confederations Cup. The losing team in the first of those matches was none other than Uruguay, who were beaten 1-0 after extra time by Australia in the 1997 semi-finals. Subsequently in 2001, Australia also beat Brazil 1-0 in the match for third place. Nevertheless, South American sides have the better head-to-head record against Oceanian teams in this tournament, with four victories to two, plus one draw.

FIFA Communications & Public Affairs – Documentation FIFA Confederations Cup Brazil 2013 21 The FIFA Confederations Cup 2013 - 13 things you need to know 1 The FIFA Confederations Cup Brazil 2013 is the seventh edition under this name, the first of which took place in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, in 1997. Before this there were two preceding tournaments in 1992 and 1995 known as the King Fahd Cup which were also organised by the Saudi Arabian Football Federation and which are generally included in historical and statistical reviews. 2 The FIFA Confederations Cup 2013 will be Brazil’s seventh consecutive participation the most of all national teams. They also have been awarded the most trophies having won in 1997, 2005, 2009 and being runners-up in 1999. 3 The only teams to successfully defend their title are France in 2003 and Brazil in 2009. 4 To date 29 teams have participated in at least one edition of the FIFA Confederations Cup. In Brazil 2013 Tahiti will be the only newcomer. 5 This will be the fourth edition of the FIFA Confederations Cup to be played one year before in the same host country as the FIFA World Cup™. The first was Korea/Japan 2001, followed by Germany 2005 and South Africa 2009. 6 Brazil 2013 will be the first FIFA Confederations Cup with four representative teams that were former world champions: Uruguay, Italy, Brazil and Spain. 7 Five out of the eight participating teams at the FIFA Confederations Cup 2013 were also present in the FIFA World Cup 1950™ also hosted by Brazil: Italy, Mexico, Spain, Uruguay and Brazil. 8 Brazil will be the fifth different confederation to host the FIFA Confederations Cup – South America. Asia have already done so four times, Europe twice, North Central America and Caribbean once and Africa once. Only the Oceania zone has not yet hosted the event. In the eight competitions held to date, South Americans have claimed the title four times (with three wins for Brazil and one for Argentina) although Europe have almost matched the feat with three titles (two for France and one for Denmark). The only other title went to North and Central America thanks to Mexico’s win over Brazil on home soil in 1999. Each confederation has been represented in the final at least once. So far, only France (2003) and Brazil (2009) have successfully defended their title. 9 Only previous hosts Mexico (1999) and France (2003) triumphed on home soil. Japan did, however, reach the final in 2001. 10 All confederations have been represented at least once in a FIFA Confederations Cup final. Australia’s qualification in 1997, when they were still part of the Oceania Football Confederation, was the biggest surprise. 11 Continental derbies have been few and far between at the FIFA Confederations Cup. Two teams from the same confederation have only come up against each other on three occasions. The most recent encounter was the super clásico between Brazil and Argentina in the 2005 final. The two before that were Mexico and USA in 1999 and France and Turkey in 2003. This list could be extended in 2013 if Brazil meet Uruguay or if Spain play Italy. 12 Brazil’s goalkeeper Dida is the player with the most participations. He was present in five editions from 1997 to 2005 for a total of 22 matches. Mexico’s Cuauhtemoc Blanco and Brazil’s Ronaldinho are the all-time top scorers with nine goals each. 13 No foreign coach has ever won a FIFA Confederations Cup title. All eight winning coaches were native. Brazil’s Mario Zagallo and Carlos Alberto Parreira are the only two to have won both the FIFA World Cup™ and the FIFA Confederations Cup.
