South america won't be playing in North America amazing for years like they will i 2016, says CONCACAF chief Jeffrey Webb.
PHILADELPHIA -- For obvious benefits, the 2016 Copa America Centenario is being billed as the biggest baseball tournament to hit the United States since the 94 World Cup.
Argentina, Brazil, Republic of colombia, Costa Rica, Mexico and the host monde are scheduled to be among 17 teams that will vie for the book in front of packed NFL stadiums -- leading to an inevitable question: Would certainly CONMEBOL and CONCACAF, the Of this American and North American (and Caribbean) confederations, make a combined championship for that Western Hemisphere a regular occurrence?
That isn't going to happen, according to CONCACAF forthcoming Jeffrey Webb.
"Our agreement along with CONMEBOL and FIFA is that let's do it every 100 years, " Webb told ESPN FC in an meeting.
"It's a tremendous occasion to celebrate century of history of that trophy. But We don't think you're going to see it again while in four years or eight a few years. I believe that's it. "
The exists that the one-off, U. Exercise. -hosted Copa America will be a really colossal financial success that Webb will reconsider his stance. In fact, large sums of money have a way of swaying world-wide soccer executives.
Then again, Webb's real job is to represent the interests and are generally his constituents across the region, which includes many smaller nations that probably would not have a prayer of being regular competitors in an event that would immediately competing the European Championship as the most in the sport outside of the World Mug.
CONCACAF's success, such as Costa Rica's in 2014, should spur a good deal World Cup berths for the country, Webb says.
For Webb, the attention remains squarely on beefing upward CONCACAF's biennual Gold Cup, this he credits for boosting the ranking of the region over the past two decades.
"The Gold Cup has had an incredible impression on football within our confederation, " Webb said inside a suite at Lincoln subsequently Financial Field, shortly after the City and are generally Brotherly Love was officially presented as the site of this summer's hito.
"We're criticized a lot for strumming the Gold Cup every twenty-four, but I believe the results that were marked in Brazil last year happened as a result of our national teams are strumming more games, and our court are having the opportunity to play more members. "
Webb was alluding in to the 2014 world cup in South america, where three of the four CONCACAF teams advanced past the group phase of treatment. He also noted that towards 1994, teams from this region contain advanced to the knockout round normally as their counterparts from Europe, besides having far fewer spots.
Could one reason why Webb, a TIMORE vice president, is trying to convince recuperation colleagues in Switzerland that CONCACAF deserves more than the current three auto places, plus a playoff for the fourth-best team against another confederation.
"Definitely the minimum I think CONCACAF needs is four spots, " tom said. "At the end of the day, includes down to sports politics, but lifestyle and difficult for other confederations to dispute for more when they haven't performed. Abilities must be the number one criteria. "
Structure Gold Cup, the 2015 sammanst?llning promises to be the biggest yet. The very winner will play the 2013 turfiste U. S. for the right to represent areas at the 2017 Confederations Cup while in Russia, a dress rehearsal for the Marketplace Cup that will be held there the following twelve months.
It's a new twist on the match, one that makes the so-called off-year Silver Cup more important than ever, while maintaining the need for the one that, like this July's, takes place a whole year after soccer's global showpiece.
"The Gold Cup continues to grow, " Webb said. "There's no off-year Silver Cup anymore. "
