The FIFA Confederations Cup was contested under FIFA's auspices for the first time in 1997 and replaced the Intercontinental Championship, which was staged in 1992 and 1995. Each of these three tournaments were held in Saudi Arabia. In 1999 the Confederations Cup was held in Mexico and it returned to Asia in 2001, where it was staged as a precursor to the 2002 FIFA World Cup in Korea Republic / Japan. Defending the World Cup and European champion France added to their trophy case by winning the 2001 tournament, and would repeat as champions hosting the event in 2003.
