¹Argentina was awarded a spot in the competition because Brazil had won both the 2002 FIFA World Cup and the Copa América 2004. Since both competitions award their winners a spot in the Confederations Cup, the runner-up in the World Cup would be called to play. Said runner-up, however, was Germany, which already had a spot as hosts of the 2005 Confederations Cup. Argentina, as the runner-up in the Copa América, was then granted a place in the 2005 edition of the tournament.
