The '''1992 King Fahd Cup''' ({{langx|ar|كَأْسُ الْمَلِك فَهْد}}), named after [[Fahd of Saudi Arabia]], was the first [[association football]] tournament of the competition that would later be known as the '''[[FIFA Confederations Cup]]'''. It was hosted by [[Saudi Arabia]] in October 1992, and was won by [[Argentina national football team|Argentina]], who beat the hosts [[Saudi Arabia national football team|Saudi Arabia]] 3–1 in the final. The 1992 tournament was the only one not to feature a group stage and only featured four nations.

In 1997, FIFA took over the organization of the tournament, named it the FIFA Confederations Cup and staged the competition every two years and recognized the first two editions. The tournament discontinued after [[2017 FIFA Confederations Cup|2017]] and later replaced by [[FIFA Club World Cup|Club World Cup]] <ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.fifa4s.com/fs-207_01e_fcc.pdf|title=FIFA Confederations Cup|access-date=13 May 2017|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160304081616/http://www.fifa4s.com/fs-207_01e_fcc.pdf|archive-date=4 March 2016|url-status=dead}}</ref>
