There are some good things about it, but the general impression is that UEFA’s idea of founding the Nations League was not a complete success, because except in League A, we didn’t watch too many attractive matches. However, that will change from 2024 – all 10 national teams from South America will join the competition!According to first reports, the six best teams from South America will be assigned to League A, while the remaining four will play in League B.ESPN:UEFA’s president confirmed that Brazil and Argentina will play in the Nations League in 2024. pic.twitter.com/BzgIKFFHNH— Brasil Football 🇧🇷 (@BrasilEdition) December 17, 2021 All matches would be played on European soil, and with this move UEFA would certainly bury all FIFA’s hopes that they might manage to organize the World Cup every two years, which would take a significant part of the finances from the European organization.UEFA and it’s South American twin CONMEBOL had a ready answer. By signing a memorandum of cooperation, they agreed on “joint organization of various competitions”. It has already been announced that the champions of Europe and South America, Italy and Argentina, will play in London on June 1, 2022, in the so-called “Finalisima” match.”This is the last Nations League in this format. We had a meeting with the confederation of South American countries and from 2024 they will join us,” said UEFA vice-president Zbigniew Boniek, for Polish Meczyki.“In what format will they play? We are still working on it. The calendar of matches of national teams is limited, so we can’t change much.”‘There will be AFCON in January, show some respect towards Africa’League A would be played by Argentina, Brazil, most likely Colombia, Chile, Peru and Uruguay. The remaining four national teams – Bolivia, Ecuador, Paraguay and Venezuela – would play in League B.The calendar would of course be a problem, because in this case 22 selections would play League A, and 20 League B. We currently have 16 national teams in both leagues.It is clear, however, that UEFA and CONMEBOL do not want to give one dime to FIFA, so the European house of football issued a statement quoting an independent auditor and estimates that national federations in Europe would lose between 2.8 and 3.4 billion USD in four years if the idea of a biennial World Cup would pass.Along the way, they figured out how to earn even more. Because it’s all about money, isn’t it?
