The 2013 FIFA Confederations Cup will be held in Brazil in 2013, as a prelude to the 2014 FIFA World Cup.[2] The tournament is expected to be held from 15 to 30 June 2013. Brazil are the defending champions.
As the competition partially overlaps 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.[3] However, the AFC decided that the match day will be adjusted only for Japan, the representative of AFC for the Confederations Cup.[4]
Of the competing nations (Uruguay, Italy and Spain) will be looking on becoming only the third team in history to win all three major titles by FIFA: FIFA World Cup, Olympics Gold Medal and FIFA Confederations Cup.

1Italy were awarded a spot in the competition because Spain had won both the 2010 FIFA World Cup and the 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.[7][8]
Teams from the same confederation are not drawn into the same group, therefore one team from UEFA and one team from CONMEBOL will be drawn in each group. Brazil and Spain have been automatically assigned respectively as A1 and B1, and therefore Italy and Uruguay will be assigned respectively to Group A and Group B.[9]
