The 2017 FIFA Confederations Cup will be the 10th FIFA Confederations Cup, a quadrennial international men's football tournament organised by FIFA. It will be held in Russia, from 17 June to 2 July 2017, as a prelude to the 2018 FIFA World Cup.

“It will be fierce, especially in group B with FIFA World Cup champions Germany and Copa America holders Chile. Cameroon, Africa’s champion, will try to beat the odds,” says the Director of StarTimes, Ernest Quaye Arday.

“In the group A, European champion Portugal is the obvious favourite but Russia plays at home and is eager to make its fans proud.”

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 on the European continent. As hosts, Russia qualified automatically for the tournament; they will be joined by the six winners of the FIFA confederation championships and the 2014 FIFA World Cup champions, Germany.
