Uefa Plans To Introduce Radical New International Competition

uefa plans to introduce radical new international competition

The 54 member associations of European football's governing body will vote tomorrow on the creation of a League of Nations-style competition that would offer qualifying places at the World Cup and European Championships. If the tournament is approved, it would be staged in odd-numbered years on dates normally reserved for friendlies, starting after the 2018 World Cup. According to reports, the competition would consist of four divisions that would be sub-divided into groups, with promotion and relegation, plus a 'final four' series to be staged at neutral venues in the summer.
