Confed Cup Semi-final Dedicated to Foe

June 22, 2005

The second semi-final of the Confederations Cup will be dedicated to the Cameroonian midfielder Marc-Vivien Foe who collapsed and died during this competition two years ago, FIFA said on Wednesday. The world soccer body said it wanted to pay tribute to the 28-year-old at the match on Sunday, exactly two years to the day that the Manchester City player slumped to the turf during Cameroon's semi-final against Colombia in the French city of Lyon. The subsequent 2003 final between France and Cameroon was overshadowed by his death. The semi-final in question will take place on Sunday in Hanover. Group A runner-up Argentina was to learn its opponents after Wednesday's final matches in Group B, featuring Japan v Brazil and Greece v Mexico.
