Inter-American Cup

created by BJuarez

(thing) by BJuarez (1.8 wk) (print)   ?   (I like it!) Fri Aug 10 2001 at 4:42:56

Soccer/football competition contested between the winners of the Copa Libertadores of South America and the CONCACAF Champions' Cup (the Confederation of North America, Central America and the Caribbean). There was usually a one and a half year delay between the actual dates of the competition and the years of the Copa Libertadores champions and CONCACAF Champions' Cup winners to which they correspond. The value of the Cup was further diminished by the fact that a number of Copa Libertadores champions in the 1990s passed on the invite, and the runners-up played for them instead, such as Universidad Católica of Chile for 1993 Copa Libertadores champions São Paulo of Brazil and Nacional Medellín of Colombia for 1995 champions Grêmio. An attempted revival was made in 1998, even though Mexican clubs were eligible for both cups. The competition has not been held since.
