The 2013 FIFA Confederations Cup, the ninth FIFA Confederations Cup, is an international association football tournament currently being held in Brazil, as a prelude to the 2014 FIFA World Cup.[2] The eight-team tournament began on 15 June 2013 and will conclude with the final on 30 June 2013. Host nation Brazil are also the defending champions.
Uruguay, Italy and Spain will have the opportunity to become the third team (after Argentina and France) to win all three major FIFA tournaments: the World Cup, the Olympic football competition and the Confederations Cup.
The competition has become the first national team tournament to employ goal-line technology, which will also be used at the 2014 World Cup.[3]

1Italy was awarded a spot in the competition because Spain had won both the 2010 FIFA World Cup and UEFA Euro 2012. Since both competitions award their winners a place in the FIFA Confederations Cup, the runner-up of UEFA Euro 2012 received an invitation to the tournament.

Draw
The draw for the competition was held at the Palácio das Convenções in the Anhembi Convention Center in São Paulo, Brazil on 1 December 2012.[10][11]
Teams from the same confederation were not drawn into the same group, therefore one team each from UEFA and from CONMEBOL was drawn in each group. Brazil and Spain had automatically been assigned as A1 and B1 respectively, therefore Italy and Uruguay were assigned respectively to Group A and Group B.[12]
Match officials
The ten referee trios were announced by FIFA on 13 May 2013.[13][14]
Confederation | Referee | Assistants |
---|---|---|
AFC | Yuichi Nishimura (Japan) | Toru Sagara (Japan) Toshiyuki Nagi (Japan) |
Ravshan Irmatov (Uzbekistan) | Abdukhamidullo Rasulov (Uzbekistan) Bahadyr Kochkarov (Kyrgyzstan) | |
CAF | Djamel Haimoudi (Algeria) | Abdelhak Etchiali (Algeria) Redouane Achik (Morocco) |
CONCACAF | Joel Aguilar (El Salvador) | William Torres (El Salvador) Juan Zumba (El Salvador) |
CONMEBOL | Diego Abal (Argentina) | Hernán Maidana (Argentina) Juan Pablo Belatti (Argentina) |
Enrique Osses (Chile) | Sergio Román (Chile) Carlos Astroza (Chile) | |
UEFA | Howard Webb (England) | Mike Mullarkey (England) Darren Cann (England) |

Squads
Teams had to name a 23-man squad (three of whom must be goalkeepers) by the FIFA deadline of 3 June 2013.[15] The squads were announced by FIFA on 7 June 2013.[16][17]
Results
The competition's dates were confirmed by FIFA on 27 July 2011 in the build-up to the draw for the 2014 World Cup's preliminary qualification rounds.[18] As the competition partially overlapped with the fourth round of the 2014 FIFA World Cup qualification in Asian zone, the Asian Football Confederation (AFC) asked FIFA to consider a change of date.[19] However, the AFC decided that the match day would only be adjusted for the AFC representative at the Confederations Cup, Japan.[20] The official final schedule was presented in Rio de Janeiro on 30 May 2012.[21]
Group stage
All eight teams entered the group stage. The group winners and runners-up will advance to the semi-finals, while the bottom two teams in each group will be eliminated from the tournament.[15] The ranking of the teams in each group will be determined as follows:[15]
- 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 will be 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;
- Drawing of lots by the FIFA Organising Committee.

Match ball
The official match ball for the Cup is produced by Adidas. It was unveiled during the draw for the competition. The ball is named "Cafusa" (pronounced [kaˈfuˈza]) – a portmanteau of the words "Carnaval" (Carnival), "Futebol" (Football) and "Samba".[3] Former Brazil captain Cafu was invited to officially unveil the ball.[3]

Goal-line technology
The 2013 FIFA Confederations Cup is the first national team tournament to use goal-line technology. The IFAB officially approved the use of goal-line technology in July 2012, and was first used in a FIFA competition for the 2012 FIFA Club World Cup in December 2012. Having trialled both Hawk-Eye and GoalRef during the Club World Cup, FIFA announced on 2 April 2013 that the German company GoalControl had been chosen as the official goal-line technology provider for the 2013 FIFA Confederations Cup.[5] Its system, GoalControl-4D, uses 14 high-speed cameras located around the pitch and directed at both goals.[6]
Protests
Prior to the opening ceremony at the Brasilia National Stadium on 15 June, demonstrations took place outside the stadium, organised by people unhappy with the amount of public money spent to enable the hosting of the FIFA World Cup and 2016 Summer Olympics.[7] Police used tear gas and pepper spray to quell the protests.[8]
The demonstrations were part of wider unrest and rioting in Brazilian cities due to a recent increase in bus fare prices and overall high level of inflation.[9][7] The Brazilian president Dilma Rousseff as well as FIFA president Sepp Blatter were heavily booed as they were announced to conduct their opening speeches.[10] Further protests took place the following day prior to the game between Mexico and Italy in Rio de Janeiro.[11][12]
As the protests intensified, with a reported participation of over a million people taking to the streets in a hundred different towns and cities,[13] reports in the Brazilian media suggested that FIFA was having to negotiate with the teams to keep them in Brazil and that the tournament could be abandoned.[14] However, a FIFA statement on 21 June insisted that "To date, neither FIFA nor the local organising committee have ever discussed any such possibility of cancelling the FIFA Confederations Cup".[15]
