Mundialito, Artemio Franchi trophy and FIFA Confederations Cup statistics

Prior to the inception of the FIFA Confederations Cup, various attempts were made at international championships outside of the FIFA World Cup bringing together champions from different confederations. The King Fahd Cup, played from 1992 to 1995, was recognized by FIFA and renamed as the Confederations Cup from 1997 onwards.

In 1980, the Mundialito had brought all former World Cup winners to Uruguay for the FIFA World Cup's 50th anniversary (The Netherlands replaced England, who declined to participate).^[1] European champions West Germany took part while South American champion Paraguay did not, CONMEBOL was instead represented by Uruguay, Brazil and Argentina.

The Artemio Franchi Trophy, a one-off game played by the winners of the Copa America and the European Football Championships, was effectively replaced by the King Fahd Cup in 1992, although it was played once more in 1993.

Note that the 1989 friendly between South American champions Brazil and European champions the Netherlands in Rotterdam and the similarly themed 1998 friendly between Brazil and Germany in Stuttgart were not played for a trophy but as an exhibition.^[2]
