Pan-American tournament could become regular event (Reuters)

By Brian Homewood ZURICH (Reuters) - A Pan-American tournament similar to last year's Copa Centenario could be played on a regular two or four-yearly basis depending on the outcome of discussions between the two confederations involved. Victor Montagliani, president of the North, Central America and Caribbean Confederation (CONCACAF), told Reuters that significant talks had taken place with South America's CONMEBOL over the organization of future competitions. The new tournament would effectively be a merger of the CONCACAF Gold Cup and South America's Copa America which could cease to exist in their own right.
