It 形態／調整s like a 小型の-World Cup and would 含む three European teams, two from South America, 加える one each from Africa, Asia, and the North American 地域.
They would play 準々決勝, 準決勝 and final in an 激しい week of 活動／戦闘 in a 選び出す／独身 host nation, 公式の／役人s 簡潔な／要約するd on the 全世界の 国家の League told The Associated 圧力（をかける）. The 公式の／役人s spoke on 条件 of anonymity because 会談 have been confidential.
The 計画（する） would 招待する all 223 members of サッカー's six 大陸の 連合s and take place every two years. The 全世界の Nations League would 直接／まっすぐに 取って代わる many of the often-meaningless friendly matches on already scheduled fixture dates.
The 判型 拡大するs on UEFA's Nations League, which kicks off next September in Europe.
"UEFA can 確認する that it has 始めるd discussions regarding the 進化 of the UEFA Nations League," the 治める／統治するing 団体／死体 of European サッカー said in a 声明.
FIFA said in a 声明 it was "伴う／関わるd from the beginning in the 過程."
"Thanks to the 協同組合 atmosphere FIFA will continue to have 建設的な discussions about the next steps together with UEFA and the other 連合s."
Teams would be graded in seven 分割s によれば their FIFA 最高位の. Each 連合 would run its own qualifying groups with 昇進／宣伝 and relegation every two years.
Group 勝利者s would 前進する to eight-team intercontinental tournaments in each of the seven 分割s played in June, and broadcast around the clock.
If 認可するd, it means teams like Germany and Brazil, Spain and Argentina, Japan and the 部隊d 明言する／公表するs, could play each other competitively between each World Cup, maybe even twice.
In the 競争 判型 存在 discussed, the 最高の，を越す 分割 final tournaments would 含む three European teams, two from South America, 加える one each from Africa, Asia, and the North American 地域. Oceania teams would play in the fourth tier, the 公式の／役人s said.
The 事業／計画（する） is still 存在 discussed by the 連合s with FIFA. They would be 招待するd to team up in a new （独立の）存在 to 共同で manage the event.
"These 建設的な discussions 伴う／関わる our 国家の 協会s, European football stakeholders, all 連合s and of course FIFA, with whom we have a very good 関係," UEFA said. "No 決定／判定勝ち（する）s have been made at this time."
The 概念 is to give 国家の teams 競争の激しい games against 対抗者s at a 類似の level, and to 取って代わる friendlies that are いっそう少なく 利益／興味ing to fans and 放送者s.
The likely 控訴，上告 of the 全世界の Nations League for most FIFA member 連合s, who rarely qualify for a World Cup, is a 現実主義の chance to compete for a トロフィー and prize money by qualifying for a final tournament.
It would also 提携させる with the FIFA-managed calendar of playing dates when clubs must 解放（する） players for 国家の-team 義務.
The June 2021 dates are seen as a prime slot for a new or 拡大するd 競争 because FIFA has said the 連合s Cup is at 危険 of 存在 scrapped.
A 可能性のある 問題／発行する is FIFA 大統領 Gianni Infantino's suggestion of a 24-team Club World Cup as an 選択 for June 2021. The FIFA 会議 will discuss a review of international 競争s in March at a 会合 in Bogota, Colombia.
Still, a 全世界の Nations League raising the profile of 国家の teams would 控訴，上告 more t o FIFA member 連合s. They get few 利益s from the success of エリート clubs and are in line to get a 株 of 全世界の Nations League 歳入 from centralized 商業の 取引，協定s.
Broadcast 権利s to the 提案するd new 競争 are seen as likely to 利益／興味 マスコミ companies now 焦点（を合わせる）ing on sports, such as アマゾン, Google and Netflix, によれば a 要点説明 文書 seen by the AP.
