CONMEBOL has reportedly rejected U.S. Soccer's offer to participate in a proposed intercontinental tournament in the summer of 2020. U.S. Soccer president Carlos Cordeiro offered to both host and finance the combined tournament in a letter on Tuesday.
In his response letter, as first reported by Brazil's Globo, South America's top soccer official Alejandro Dominguez categorically rejected the invitation. Dominguez said the 10 South American confederation's men's national teams would prefer to keep their own continental championship, the Copa America, as their first priority. Copa America is the oldest international soccer championship in the world.
