With Messi as the most attractive, the organizations of South America and Central and North America are trying to reissue an old continental league.
The presence of Lionel Messi in Major League Soccer, it’s not just a huge attraction for the fun of Central and North America, with the United States as its epicenter. Since it was confirmed that the star would play for Inter Miami, they started planning the engineering from South America to include him in an official competition, which is about to become a reality.
Yes OK the dream was to invite the clubs from Mexico back and add the MLS to the Copa Libertadores, for now it is not feasible due to a matter of distances, costs and organization. However, work has been done to reissue the old one Inter-American Cupthough in a home run format that would promote the presence of the Florida team.
This project has been around for a long time since it was created: in fact CONMEBOL announced in January that an agreement had already been reached with CONCACAF to play a “Final Four” and in which the champions of the international competitions of both confederations will participate. And Chiqui Tapia’s visit to Miami, to present a project for the Argentina national team in that city, included a request from Alejandro Domínguez to take this idea further.
