UEFA and Concacaf are in conflict with FIFA, but they are now considering organizing a new national team tournament. The Guardian reports that the competition is planned to begin in 2028, following the European Championship. The tournament would be held biennially, mirroring the format of the Nations League. UEFA and Concacaf are still working out the specifics of the event.
One potential structure involves a group stage during September, October, and November, followed by knockout matches in March and a final in June. Regardless of the exact format, all 96 nations from Europe, North America, Central America, and the Caribbean would participate, with a significant portion of the revenue shared among the teams.
This idea arose after FIFA president Gianni Infantino had toyed with the notion of creating a company and selling shares in the World Cup, a plan that was abandoned following strong opposition, particularly from UEFA and Concacaf. The story was reported by The Guardian and was AI-translated from Portuguese.
