Final

The 2009 FIFA Confederations Cup Final was held at Coca-Cola Park, Johannesburg, South Africa, on 28 June 2009 and was contested by the United States and Brazil. This was the first appearance ever for the United States in the final of a FIFA men's competition. This was Brazil's fourth appearance in a Confederations Cup final (after 1997, 1999 and 2005).
