The FIFA Confederations Cup was a special international football tournament. It was organized by FIFA, the world's football governing body. Think of it as a big warm-up event for the FIFA World Cup.

This tournament brought together the best national teams from different parts of the world. It included the champions from each of FIFA's six confederations (like Europe's UEFA champion or South America's CONMEBOL champion). Also, the team that won the last FIFA World Cup and the country hosting the next World Cup would join. This meant eight teams competed in total. The tournament was also known as the King Fahd Cup when it first started.
