American teams could face Champions League winners in new Super Cup

• Uefa wants four-team event in US at start of season
• Idea is to attract more families and female fans

American teams could be invited to take on the Champions League winners in a revamped Super Cup being considered by Uefa. Substantive discussions for a four-team season-opening event to replace the Super Cup are understood to be ongoing.

This would feature the winners of the Champions League and Europa League as is the case now, but also the winners of the Europa Conference League. The United States, considered the key growth market for European football, is the main destination under discussion and one option would be to include the host country's champions - in this case, the winners of Major League Soccer - as the fourth team.
