JOHANNESBURG: Brazil, Italy and Spain headline the FIFA 2009 Confederations Cup with some of the biggest names in the game looking to claim bragging rights ahead of next year's World Cup.
The tournament of continental champions, the traditional dress rehearsal for the World Cup, gets underway next Sunday when hosts South Africa take on Asian Cup winners Iraq.
New Zealand, Egypt and the United States are also playing in the June 14-28 spectacle but it is the presence of the big three that has whetted appetites.
