In the year of the Qatar World Cup, Argentina can get to revalidate his crown of champion of america nothing less than before Italy the winner of the Eurocup: UEFA and Conmebol negotiate the possibility of playing “Euroamérica”, a duel between the kings of both continents that would take the place of the Confederations Cup, which this time will not take place.
As he was able to find out Infobae, both entities, the one that governs football in the Old Continent and the South American Confederation, maintain a good dialogue, to the point that, for example, they exchanged referees for the Copa América and the Eurocup, in an interesting experience (in which the Argentine participated Fernando Rapallini). The referents of both parties are their presidents, Alejandro Domínguez and Aleksander Ceferin.
“They are working on the issue”, assured a source with knowledge of both paths. There is a possibility that it will be disputed in June 2022. And the United States, more precisely New York City, is being considered as an alternative venue. That is, six months before the start of the ecumenical competition.
For later, there are even versions of a contest with four competitors in 2025. On that occasion, “Euroamérica” would include the champions and runners-up of the two contests.
Argentina won the Copa América at the Maracana after 28 years of drought: its last celebration was in Ecuador in 1993. Italy, meanwhile, had won its last European Championship in 1984, when the competition was played in France. In addition, he came from a dark stage in his history, after being on the sidelines of the last World Cup in Russia 2018. But he recovered, with Roberto Mancini in command and a litter of interesting young players.
On the one hand, Messi, Lautaro Martínez and Di María. On the other, Chiellini, Chiesa, Lorenzo Insigne and company. And Diego Maradona, albiceleste idol and icon of Calcio after his time at Napoli, as the guiding vessel. Will Argentina and Italy star in the first edition of Euroamérica next year?
