The CONMEBOL–UEFA Cup of Champions, previously known officially as the European/South American Nations Cup and commonly as the Artemio Franchi Cup, is an official super cup football match organised by UEFA and CONMEBOL and contested by the winners of the UEFA European Championship and the Copa América. Organised as a quadrennial one-off match, it is a national team equivalent to the former Intercontinental Cup featuring the club champions of Europe and South America.

The competition was held twice in 1985 and 1993 before being discontinued. The competition was relaunched starting in 2022, after the signing of a memorandum of understanding between CONMEBOL and UEFA.


FIRST EDITIONS AND ABOLITION

Created in 1985 as the European/South American Nations Cup, it was also referred as the "Artemio Franchi Cup" due the competition's trophy, named after the late Artemio Franchi, former president of UEFA who died in a road accident in 1983. It was organised jointly between CONMEBOL and the European confederation, acting as an intercontinental super cup.

The competition was the national team equivalent to the Intercontinental Cup on the club level, played between the winners of the European Cup/UEFA Champions League and Copa Libertadores. The competition was to be held every four years, with the venue alternating between Europe and South America.
