Confederations Cup 2003

The 2003 Confederations Cup football tournament was held in France in June 2003. France retained the title they had won in 2001, but the tournament was overshadowed by the death of Cameroon player Marc-Vivien Foé, who died of heart failure in his side's semi-final against Colombia. Foé's death united the France and Cameroon teams in the final match; after France's victory, their captain Marcel Desailly lifted the trophy together with his Cameroon counterpart, Rigobert Song.
