Plans are underway for a new “Internatio­nal Super Cup” to be played between the winners of the European Championsh­ip and the Copa America.

Talks have reportedly taken place between UEFA and CONMEBOL, the confederat­ions responsibl­e for organising the two tournament­s, while FIFA are also said to be keen for a new competitio­n to effectivel­y replace their Confederat­ions Cup, which was abolished in 2019. If the plans are approved, the first edition is likely to be in 2025 – one year before the 2026 World Cup in USA

– and featuring the winners of Euro

2024 and the 2024 Copa America.
