Accordingly, the best four teams in the Champions League preliminary round, which will be played in a league system from 2024, could take part in the event. That would mean that the Champions League winner would no longer play a UEFA Super Cup match against the Europa League winner as before. Instead of the premier league winner, the conference league winner could play this game.
At UEFA, there were always considerations of a final four tournament in the Champions League. The winner of the 2020 premier class in Lisbon was determined in a similar way during the corona pandemic. The disadvantage of such a mode would be that two semi-final games and the corresponding income would be lost. The choice of venues would also be limited as a city would have to host four teams and their fans.
