Winner of Euro vs winner of Copa America could be playing in the Euro-America Cup

The development of a new international Super Cup competition between the champions of the Copa America and the European Championship is being reconsidered by the Union of European Football Associations (UEFA) and the South American Football Confederation (CONMEBOL).

The proposed new competition is intended to replace the Confederations Cup in certain ways. Apparently, FIFA intends to offer a more appealing and shorter tournament to be held the year before a World Cup. The CONMEBOL Copa America and the UEFA Euro are held in a gap of two years with the FIFA World Cup.

Presidents of both the associations, Aleksander Ceferin (UEFA) and Alejandro Dominguez (Conmebol) have begun their attempts to establish the competition between their respective federations, according to TNT Sports. The decided tournament may have the finals from each competition. However, it is more likely that it will feature only the winners out of each competition.

Since 1960, the Euro has been held every four years. It was formerly known as the European Nations’ Cup, but in 1968 it was renamed to its current name. All teams enter the event through a qualifying process, with the exception of the host country, who qualify automatically. Until 2016, title winners had the option of competing in the FIFA Confederations Cup the following year, but they were not obligated to do so.

Since 1993, the Copa America has had 12 teams on average. All ten CONMEBOL teams are represented, as well as two more teams from other confederations. Between 1993 and 2016, Mexico competed in every tournament, with one additional CONCACAF team.

The current plan is for the European Championship and Copa America to be held two years before World Cups, with the new competition being held a year before the World Cup in the country that will host the tournament. The tournament is now being proposed for a 2025 edition.
