The FIFA Confederations Cup is a football tournament for national teams, held every four years by FIFA. It is contested by the winners of each of the six FIFA confederation championships (CAF, CONMEBOL, UEFA, AFC, OFC, CONCACAF), along with the FIFA World Cup champion and the host country, to bring the number of teams up to eight. When the World Cup champion is also winner of its confederation championship, then the World Cup runner-up also enters the Confederations Cup, ensuring eight teams for the tournament. In the 2005 tournament, however, Brazil, as World Cup champion, and World Cup runner-up Germany, as host, had qualified. When Brazil also won the Copa América, the vacant eighth spot was awarded to Argentina, runner-up in the Copa América.

Broadcasting rights

• United Kingdom: Live coverage of selected matches has been shown on terrestrial channel Five, formerly known as Channel 5. Delayed coverage is usually shared between Five and satellite/cable network British Eurosport. Seen as a lower key event, the Confederations Cup has never been shown on main BBC and ITV channels. The rights are generally bought up quietly, around six months before the main event for much less money than the FIFA World Cup.
• In Italy RAI must, by law, broadcast the Azzurri matches, therefore the state broadcaster is very likely to buy part of the rights (if not all of them, since they are cheaper than the World Cup ones) for the Confederations Cup when Italy participates.
• Australia: In the past, Australia has reguarly qualified for the tournament as champions of Oceania, however has had difficulty qualifying for the FIFA World Cup as Oceania has never had an automatic qualifying spot. This has meant the tournament has always been considered quite significant for Australian football, this has seen the vast majority of games being shown live on SBS, a Free-to-air network. Now that Australia has entered the Asian Football Confederation, qualification for this tournament will be much more difficult, qualification for the FIFA World Cup will, in theory, be easier.
