Brazil has revealed the venues for the 2013 Confederations Cup, the now traditional warm-up for the following season's World Cup Finals.
The six stadia for the eight-team competition are as follows:
Belo Horizonte (Mineirao) - 70,000Brasilia (Nacional) - 71,500Fortaleza (Castelao) - 67,000Recife (Pernambuco) - 44,000Rio (Maracana) - 76,500Salvador (Fonte Nova) - 56,500
The tournament, which will take place between the 15th and 30th of June 2013, has five of the eight finalists confirmed already.

The USA have fired Bob Bradley as their manager.
The New Jersey-born coach was relieved of his duties today after five years at the helm.
Last month's loss to Mexico in the CONCACAF Gold Cup final proved his undoing, as the US had led 2-0 in that game before capitulating embarrassingly 4-2 and the defeat also meant they missed out on the 2013 FIFA Confederations Cup.
