Chile vs Portugal? CONMEBOL confident of arranging showpiece games with UEFA

Club and international matches between teams in the confederations are likely to happen, according to the CONMEBOL president

CONMEBOL president Alejandro Dominguez claims UEFA has agreed in principle to revive the Intercontinental Cup and introduce two new showpiece games, including a play-off between the Copa America and European Championship winners.

Last staged in 2004, the Intercontinental Cup was contested by the winners of the Copa Libertadores and the Champions League, South America and Europe's premier club competitions, respectively.

FIFA's Club World Cup also pits the holders of each continent's top prize against one another, but Dominguez believes there is scope for the one-off match to return.
