growing competition
The 2022/23 edition of the Nations League was the third in its history. So far, Portugal and France have won. This Sunday, Spain joined. The tournament is contested by 55 European teams divided into four leagues. Three are made up of 16 throws and one only of seven. In League A, the four best-placed teams in the group qualify for the semi-finals. In the other Leagues, they seek to move up in category. The last four go down except for the last area.
In Europe, they have designed this championship for their teams to compete on FIFA dates and not just to play friendly matches. Moreover, in this way, there can be more confrontations between the powers. However, UEFA doesn’t see the addition of more casts with evil eyes. Without going any further, Aleksander Čeferin, President of the Union of European Football Federations, He assured that the addition of Conmebol teams is an alternative.
“I can’t give too many details at the moment, but it’s doable, that’s for sure. After the creation of the Nations League, our teams no longer play as many friendly matches. The big teams miss playing against Brazil, Argentina and Uruguay. They tell us that they would like to take them. It would be a very good thing, but we are not yet at the point of sharing it with the public, ”he said in March 2022.
This is not the only antecedent that intention exists. Zbigniew Boniek vice-president of UEFA, went further and in December 2021 He said the addition of South American teams to the Nations is planned for 2024. ” We had a meeting with Conmebol. Teams from this continent will join the competition,” he said.
Alejandro Domínguez, boss of the South American Confederation said they were working on bringing the idea to fruition. “It allows them and us to be in direct and constant competition. And that gets us out of this problem of organizing friendly matches which always have their downsides and their difficulties. We see this as an opportunity for the future,” he says.
