ESPN: In 2024, South American countries will join the League of Nations and plan to fight against the World Cup restructuring

According to ESPN reporter Dale-Johnson, all 10 South American countries plan to join the 2024 UEFA Nations League when the 2024 Nations League tournament resumes.

It is reported that when the 2024 UEFA Nations League tournament resumes, 10 South American countries plan to join the tournament, and all competitions will still be played in Europe.

Prior to this, UEFA and COWAS signed a renewable and extendable memorandum of understanding, which includes the organization of potential football matches, which will be valid until 30 June 2028. We can clearly see it as a strategy against FIFA and its biennial World Cup proposal.

The top six South American teams, Brazil, Argentina, Colombia, Uruguay, Peru and Chile, will join the UEFA Nations League A-Division, while the other four countries Paraguay, Ecuador, Venezuela and Bolivia will join the B-League. This will expand to 22 teams in the A-league and 20 in the B-league.

The timing of international match days will not increase, and it remains to be seen whether this option is suitable, but it will put UEFA and COSMA and FIFA in direct conflict.

FIFA and Wenger have always wanted to restructure the international matchday schedule, and they hope to reduce the time of international matches. But in fact, this does not mean that the number of games will be reduced, and if the biennial World Cup is completed, there is basically no room for the rest of the schedule except for qualifiers and World Cup matches.

So by creating an expanded and trans-FA Nations League tournament, UEFA and THE SOUTH American Football Federation are essentially opposed to the biennial World Cup plan and plan to change the international competition schedule.

This also means that South American countries such as Argentina and Brazil will have lucrative opportunities for international competitions, which South American countries missed because UEFA abandoned international friendly matches and switched to Europa League matches. The South American Football Association sees this as a better route than the biennial World Cup.

UEFA Vice-President Zbignev-Bonek said: "This is the last time the League of Nations will be held in this format, we have already met with the South American Football Association, and from 2024, teams from South America will also participate in the competition. ”

"The number of A-League and B-League teams will be adjusted, And The C-Class and D-Divisions will be played according to the same rules of play as they are now, with nothing going to change. What format will the competition take? We are still trying to figure out that the national team's schedule is limited, so there won't be a lot of room for adjustment. ”
