The FIFA Confederations Cup is an international association football competition established in 1992 as the King Fahd Cup and changed to FIFA Confederations Cup in 1997. It is contested by the men's national teams of the members of Fédération Internationale de Football Association (FIFA), the sport's global governing body. The Confederations Cup final matches are the last of the competition, and the results determine which country's team is declared champions. If after 90 minutes of regular play the score is a draw, an additional 30-minute period of play, called extra time, is added. If such a game is still tied after extra time it is decided by kicks from the penalty mark, commonly called a penalty shoot-out. The winning penalty shoot-out team are then declared champions.

In the nine tournaments held, 30 nations have appeared at least once. Of these, eleven have made it to the final match, and five have won. With four titles, Brazil is the most successful World Cup team and also the only nation to have participated in every FIFA Confederations Cup finals tournament. The other former champions are France, with two titles, and Argentina, Denmark and Mexico with one title each.
