The 2005 Confederations Cup football tournament was held in Germany, between June 15 and June 29, 2005.

Final kick-off

Participating teams

1Argentina was awarded a spot in the competition because Brazil had won both the 2002 FIFA World Cup and the 2004 Copa América. 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.
