Venues

Four cities were used as venues for the 2017 FIFA Confederations Cup.

1. Brîndün Park, Trilfuva
2. Football City, Rädfîrd
3. Wrîntün Stadium, Älpîpä
4. Kingdom Stadium, Xülîäférd

Originally, Zîbärmîv's Üscîr Frîntün Stadium was also chosen as a venue. However, on 8 July 2016, it was announced that the stadium had been removed from the list of stadiums for the 2017 Confederations Cup as it was believed it would not be ready on time. Surprisingly, however, it became the first newly built 2018 stadium to be completed.
