Will the big teams in Europe and the United States take the Confederations Cup seriously?

The Confederations Cup, formerly known as the Intercontinental Cup, was initiated in 1991 by the Asian, African, South American and North American Caribbean Football Confederations and is now hosted by FIFA.

At that time, the Confederations Cup was held every two years, which was actually a chicken rib, and football powers did not pay attention to it, and many famous players wanted to take a good rest after a hard season, and did not want to participate in this painless game. As a result, many football powerhouses directly send their second-tier teams to participate.

FIFA saw the dilemma of the Confederations Cup, and changed the Confederations Cup from the past two years to the current quadrennial, and it was hosted by the host country of the next World Cup, which happened to be the year before the World Cup, which greatly enhanced the international influence of this event and the importance of football powers.

Why? Because these countries that want to achieve good results in the World Cup regard the Confederations Cup held in the host country of the World Cup as a warm-up match before the World Cup, one is to examine the team, which is a good time to train the team, after all, it is an international A-level event, and the opponent will go all out, so that a serious game can have the effect of training the team, and by the way, the level of other teams can be examined; The second is to adapt to the climatic conditions and venue conditions of the host country of the World Cup.

These are very important for teams that want to make a difference in the World Cup!! What manager wouldn't want to lead his team to a good World Cup? What player wouldn't want to win the Hercules Cup in their career?

The above is my personal writing, time relationship, not carefully enough or did not fully answer the doubts in the landlord's heart, please understand.

No, it's just that the champion of a continent came to participate and the host, the World Cup champion, those European powerhouses such as Germany, England, France, etc. did not participate, they just used him as a training before the World Cup to experience the atmosphere of the host.

Usually not, but this time it was an exception, because Brazil, Italy, Spain all sent the main force.

The country will not pay attention to it, but the participating players will pay attention to it, and no matter how small the mosquito is, it is still meat.

To qualify for the Confederations Cup, you must meet at least one of the following conditions to participate:

First: Be the champion of your state.

Second: it is a World Cup winner.

Third: if it is the host country of the World Cup, it is equivalent to the host country of the Confederations Cup, and it will participate as the host.

Fourth: that is, there is a team that is the champion of the World Cup and the champion of the state at the same time, so that there is an extra place (Brazil in 05 participated in this capacity, and as a result, another team was invited to supplement the number of teams), so that FIFA considers inviting other teams (sometimes the third place in the World Cup or the third place in the European Cup) to participate, that is to see if the country has the luck of not being invited. There is also a similar situation, that is, if the host country is either the World Cup winner or the champion of the state (or both the World Cup winner and the winner of the state), then there are one (two) more places, and it is up to FIFA to consider which team to invite.

PS: The teams participating in this Confederations Cup are: World Cup champion Italy, European Cup champion Spain, Copa America winner Brazil, Asian Cup champion Iraq, Oceania champion New Zealand, Central and North American champion United States, African champion Egypt, and of course, South Africa, the host country of the Confederations Cup (10 World Cup), a total of 8 teams

It is held once every four years, one year before the World Cup year. The teams participating include the champions of the continental cups, the hosts and the World Cup winners.

Held once every 4 years, it is made up of the champion teams of each continent and the World Cup winners.

It is a competition in which the champions of all continents come to participate.

Continental champions take part in the competition.

A year before the World Cup.

It is rumored that if you win the Confederations Cup, you will not win the World Cup.

Six continental champions, World Cup winners, and hosts participate.

Because the United States has a large land area, but the development of football is very late, in fact, it does not only refer to the United States, it refers to North America (except the Caribbean) football is not developed, it is too late to enter, the country does not pay attention to it, after Xiaobei transferred to the Los Angeles Galaxy, the United States domestic league was only known, before the fans knew the European League, who watched the American League, who knew the American stars This fully explains the decline of American football, because the development of the United States is dominated by basketball and baseball, the football market can not be opened, and there are too few people to watch, It is only in the past two years that it has risen, and the rise in the rankings fully proves the potential of American football, because they have a strong physique and team spirit, coupled with the delicate footwork of South Americans, I believe that American football can get out of the desert and play better in the World Cup.

Americans' favorite sports (baseball, basketball, football, ice hockey, etc.) all have big scores.

The average spectator cannot accept a 0:0 result in a football match. Even thought to give the money back because they wasted 90 minutes and didn't see a goal. The United States is a soccer desert because there is no fan atmosphere, not because the level of football is not high.

This is because the United States is dedicated to playing baseball and basketball, and its enthusiasm for football is a little lower, not that his football level is weak, the American women's football team is still a strong team but slightly inferior to Brazil, and the men's football team is slowly among the strong teams, and as they pay more attention to football, I believe it will be more progressive!! On the other hand, our Chinese football... Ay!

Reluctance to bring it up. It's chilling!!

Compared to the level of American basketball, it is slightly worse.

Relative to other professional leagues.

There are many people who like baseball, football, and basketball.

Wow, the bundle is slender and long.

The Confederations Cup was formerly known as the Intercontinental Cup, and it was King Fahd of Saudi Arabia who first proposed the event, and he wanted to invite the best teams from all regions of the world to Saudi Arabia to play, and his original intention was to define the tournament as the "King Fahd Cup". However, due to the fact that the teams come from all continents, it is more customary to refer to the tournament as the Intercontinental Cup, and the name of the "King Fahd Cup" has been forgotten from the beginning.

The Confederations Cup, formerly known as the Intercontinental Cup, was initiated in 1991 by the Asian, African, South American and North American Caribbean Football Confederations, and is now hosted by FIFA and held every two years, with the 8th edition of the tournament to be played in 2009. The participating teams are the host national football team, the champion team of the previous season's continental football championships, cups and world champions.

The Confederations Cup has the host country + the last champion of each continent.

The Toyota Cup seemed to be the winner of the Champions League and the Copa Libertadores before the reform, and now it is the champion team of clubs from all continents (Champions League + AFC Champions League + Copa Libertadores +

The Confederations Cup is an intercontinental football tournament and is far less well-known than the World Cup.

The Confederations Cup, formerly known as the Intercontinental Cup, was initiated in 1991 by the Asian, African, South American and North American Caribbean Football Confederations, hosted by FIFA, and changed to be held every four years in 2005' gold cup）。

The trophy is made according to the shape of the World Cup, and FIFA defines the Confederations Cup as an international event second only to the World Cup, but its influence is far less than that of the World Cup.

First of all, I would like to correct the mistake on the first floor: the Confederations Cup was held every two years before 2005, but now it has been changed back to the same as the World Cup

There is no doubt that the popularity of the Confederations Cup is certainly smaller than that of the World Cup, which is just a warm-up for the World Cup, and it can also be said to be a venue for testing the World Cup hosts in advance.

And from another point of view, it can be shown that the Confederations Cup is less well-known than the World Cup, that is, like this Confederations Cup, there are only three traditional strong teams participating, that is, Brazil, Italy, Spain and the World Cup has European Spain, Italy, England, the Netherlands, Germany, Portugal, France and other strong teams to participate; The Americas have Brazil, Argentina participating, and it can be said that there are at least a dozen strong teams competing for the World Cup. And every team is a real fight

From the above points, it can be seen that the Confederations Cup is less well-known than the World Cup, and it is much smaller

In which country the World Cup will be held, a Confederations Cup will be held about a year in advance, and the champions of each continent plus the host country will be a rehearsal in advance for the World Cup.

Sure, the biggest event in the world is the World Cup.
