The 2005 FIFA Confederations Cup football tournament was the seventh FIFA Confederations Cup. It was held in Germany between 15 June and 29 June 2005.

[edit] Participating teams

Germany - hosts
Brazil - 2002 FIFA World Cup winners
Argentina¹ - Copa América 2004 runners-up
Greece - UEFA Euro 2004 winners
Mexico - 2003 CONCACAF Gold Cup winners
Tunisia - 2004 African Cup of Nations winners
Japan - 2004 AFC Asian Cup winners
Australia - 2004 OFC Nations Cup winners

¹Argentina was awarded a spot in the competition because Brazil had won both the 2002 FIFA World Cup and the Copa América 2004. Since both competitions award their winners a spot in the Confederations Cup, the runner-up in the World Cup would be called to play. Said runner-up, however, was Germany, which already had a spot as hosts of the 2005 Confederations Cup. Argentina, as the runner-up in the Copa América, was then granted a place in the 2005 edition of the tournament.
