The2001 FIFA Confederations Cup was the fifthFIFA Confederations Cup and the third to be organized byFIFA. It was also the first in which the original hosts,Saudi Arabia, did not participate (they were the nation who founded the tournament, previously known as the King Fahd Cup). The tournament was played from 30 May to 10 June 2001, and co-hosted by South Korea and Japan, who were also hosts for the2002 FIFA World Cup finals. It was won byFrance, beating hostsJapan 1–0, with a goal fromPatrick Vieira.
