	Confederations Cup - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The FIFA Confederations Cup is a football (soccer) tournament for national teams, held every four years (previously every two years) by FIFA.
		When the World Cup champion is also winner of its confederation championship, then the runner-up champion takes the place, ensuring eight teams for the tournament.
		In 1997, FIFA upgraded the status of the competition to an official tournament, increased the number of teams to eight, and renamed it the FIFA Confederations Cup.
