Russia was announced as the host on 2 December 2010 after the country was awarded the hosting rights of the 2018 FIFA World Cup.[2] The matches will be played in four different stadiums across four cities: Saint Petersburg, Moscow, Kazan and Sochi. It will be the first time Russia hosts the tournament, and the third time the Confederations Cup is held within the European continent. As hosts, Russia automatically qualified for the tournament. The six winners of the FIFA confederation championships as well as the 2014 FIFA World Cup champions, Germany, also qualified.
The final tournament will be played in two stages: a group stage and a latter knockout stage. In the group stage each team will play three games in a group of four, with the winners and runners-up from each group advancing to the knockout stage. In the knockout stage the four teams will competed in single-elimination matches, beginning with the semi-finals and ending with the final match of the tournament. A third-place match will also be played between the two losing teams of the semi-finals.
The defending champions, Brazil, who won the previous three Confederation Cups (2005, 2009, 2013) failed to qualify following their loss on penalties to Paraguay in the quarter-finals of the 2015 Copa América. 2015 AFC Asian Cup winners Australia also became the first team to qualify from multiple confederations, having previously represented the OFC in 1997, 2001 and 2005.
