The FIFA Confederations Cup gets underway in South Africa on 14 June.  Over the next two weeks eight teams - the FIFA Confederations champions plus hosts Bafana Bafana - will be pitting their skills against each other to see who will be crowned Confederations Cup Champions.  The eight teams are: Italy, Spain, Brazil, Egypt, South Africa, Iraq, New Zealand and the USA.

stuart_weir_67x90We preview the event with our football correspondent Stuart Weir (left) and our solomon_in_mcgman on the spot, Solomon Ashoms (right) in South Africa. 

Has the event any relevance for the higher ranked teams such as Spain, Italy and Brazil or is it a waste of time?  On the other side of the coin, how valuable is the tournament for the lower ranked nations like New Zealand and Iraq to play top-class opposition?  And can South Africa deliver a well-run competition, one year before the nation hosts the FIFA World Cup?

tu_nuualiitia_67x100We also explore the issue of identity with former Manu Samoa rugby union international, Tu Nu'uali'itia (left).  For many sports people their identity is shaped by their performances which is fine when they're winning but not so good when they are under-performing.  Tu provides insight from his own experience.
