#1 Brazil – 1997, 2005, 2009 and 2013
Trending
By far the most successful team in the Confederations Cup, Brazil have won the tournament a whopping four times out of the seven editions that they have competed in. In addition to their victorious campaigns, Brazil were finalists in 1999 and finished fourth in 2001.
1997 was the first time that the Brazilians captured the title. The dream pairing of Romario and Ronaldo would score 11 goals between them in five games as the South Americans topped their group and dispatched the Czech Republic in the semifinals before crushing Australia 6-0 to land their first title.
Eight years later, Brazil would travel to Germany with one of the most talented squads ever assembled and promptly won the competition again. The team comprising of Ronaldinho, Kaka, Adriano and Robinho would beat Germany and fierce rivals Argentina on course to winning the title, with Adriano top scoring with five goals.
Brazil would win the next two editions of the Cup as well, with a masterful second half performance overturning a 0-2 deficit against the United States to win the title in 2009 and winning every single match during an utterly dominating performance in 2013.
The latter tournament saw the star turn of Neymar who was awarded the Golden Ball as goals from him and a double from the top scoring Fred resulted in World Champions Spain getting outclassed 3-0 in the final.
In fact, the winner of this year’s edition will break Brazil’s hold on the title that has stood for 12 years.
