South America proposes Copa-Euro showdown

NEW YORK: South American football’s governing body has proposed a one-off match between the winners of the Copa America Centenario and Euro 2016 later this year, officials confirmed on Friday.

Alejandro Dominguez, the president of CONMEBOL, told reporters at a press conference an invitation to UEFA had been made to stage the inter-continental showdown.

“We have challenged UEFA to play one game this year, bringing together the winners of the Copa America Centenario and the winners of the Euro 2016,” Dominguez said. “We are waiting for that answer. They are studying our offer,” he added.
