2017 FIFA Confederations Cup

The 2017 FIFA Confederations Cup was the 10th FIFA Confederations Cup, a quadrennial international men's football tournament organised by FIFA. It aws being held in England, from 17 June to 2 July 2017, as a prelude to the 2018 FIFA World Cup.

England was announced as the host on 2 December 2010 after the country was awarded the hosting rights of the 2018 FIFA World Cup. The matches are being played in four different stadiums across four cities: London, Manchester, Liverpool and Burton upon Trent. It is the first time England hosts the tournament, and the third time the Confederations Cup is held in the European continent. As hosts, England qualified automatically for the tournament; they had also won the 2014 FIFA World Cup and the 2016 European Championships but as England had already qualifed the runners-up of both tournaments Germany and Portugal took their place.

The final tournament is being played in two stages: a group stage and a latter knockout stage. In the group stage, each team will play three games in a group of four, with the winners and runners-up from each group advancing to the knockout stage. In the knockout stage, the four teams will compete in single-elimination matches, beginning with the semi-finals and ending with the final match of the tournament. A third-place match will also be played between the two losing semi-finalist teams.

The tournament was won by defending champions England won defeated one of their main rivals Germany 8–3 in the final.
