Wikipedia - UEFA–CONMEBOL Club Challenge
The UEFA–CONMEBOL Club Challenge (Spanish: UEFA–CONMEBOL Desafío de Clubes; Portuguese: UEFA–CONMEBOL Desafio de Clubes) is a football match organised by CONMEBOL and UEFA. The match is contested by the winners of the South American and European second-tier competitions UEFA Europa League and CONMEBOL Sudamericana, respectively. Organised as an annual one-off match, it is a equivalent to the former Supercopa Euroamericana, which featured the winners of the South American and European second-tier competitions. The competition was launched in 2023 as part of a renewed partnership between CONMEBOL and UEFA.
History
On 12 February 2020, UEFA and CONMEBOL signed a renewed memorandum of understanding meant to enhance cooperation between the two organisations. As part of the agreement, a joint UEFA–CONMEBOL committee examined the possibility of staging European–South American intercontinental matches, for both men's and women's football and across various age groups. On 15 December 2021, UEFA and CONMEBOL again signed a renewed memorandum of understanding lasting until 2028, which included specific provisions on opening a joint office in London and the potential organisation of various football events.
Following a series of new events between teams from the two confederations, on 7 July 2023, UEFA and CONMEBOL confirmed that the UEFA Europa League and CONMEBOL Sudamericana winners would face each other in an intercontinental match, with the agreement initially for a pilot edition starting on 19 July 2023 at the Estadio Ramón Sánchez Pizjuán in Seville, Spain. The UEFA–CONMEBOL Club Challenge can be considered a successor to the Supercopa Euroamericana, played in 2015 for the first time and organised by American satellite-television company DirecTV, as a friendly football tournament, until in 2017, when the match was cancelled, after the crash of LaMia Flight 2933, carrying the majority of the Chapecoense squad on their way to the first leg of the 2016 Copa Sudamericana finals.
