FIFA announced the groups for the 2013 Confederations Cup in Brazil.
The result of the drawing was following:
Group A: Brazil, Mexico, Italy, and Japan
Group B: Spain, Tahiti, Uruguay, and the winner of the 2013 African Cup of Nations
FIFA made sure that the two nations from South America and Europe were not paired with each other. It is obvious that it is going to be a hard tournament for Japan. Although some media have said that the Confederations Cup is a rehearsal for the World Cup, the coaches of the seven national teams are taking this competitions seriously, and they also said that it is going to be really competitive. Japan's Italian coach Alberto Zaccheroni said, "It'll be the first time I've faced Italy and I just can't picture it at the moment, though I'm pretty sure it won't be your average game. The important thing is to go and get a result. That's out number one objective." I think this is going to be really interesting tournament!!
