A Euro-America cup looks likely: European champions against South American champions


UEFA and Conmebol re considering the introduction of a new international Super Cup kind of competition competed by the winners of the Copa America and the European Championship.

The idea is for the proposed new tournament to, in a way, replace the Confederations Cup, as FIFA themselves are keen to introduce a more attractive and shorter tournament to be played the year before a World Cup.

TNT Sports have reported that presidents Aleksander Ceferin (UEFA) and Alejandro Dominguez (Conmebol) have started their efforts to launch the competition between their respective federations.

The tournament might see the finalists of each compete, but it is more likely to only consist of the winners.

As things stand, the idea is to have the European Championship and Copa America to both be played two years ahead of World Cups, with the new tournament to then be played a year before a World Cup in the nation that will host the World Cup.

Now, an edition of the tournament is being considered for 2025.
