I think 4 big Champions Leagues could be very interesting. Then you can have a FIFA Club World Cup with 8 clubs: 2 from Asia, 2 from Africa, 2 from Europe and 2 from America. I think these countries could sent 2 clubs for each 32 clubs tournament: Asian Champions League: Iraq Australia (Sydney FC, Melbourne Victory) Japan (Urawa Reds, Gamba Osaka) South Korea Thailand United Arab Emirates China Iran Uzbekistan Qatar Saudi Arabia Syria Vietnam Indonesia Malaysia India African Champions League: South Africa (Kaizer Chiefs, Orlando Pirates) Egypt Nigeria Togo Ivory Coast Tunisia (Esperance, Club Africain) Congo-Kinshasa Cameroon Sudan Libya Morocco Tanzania Algeria Senegal Ghana Angola European Champions League: Italy Portugal England (Man Utd, Chelsea) France Turkey Spain (Real Madrid, Barcelona) Germany Czech Republic Norway Greece Scotland Russia Romania Netherlands Ukraine Denmark American Champions League: Brazil (Sao Paulo, Flamengo) Paraguay Argentina Mexico Chile United States (DC United, Houston Dynamo) Uruguay Colombia Venezuela Costa Rica Peru Ecuador Honduras Bolivia Trinidad and Tobago Guatemala Clubs from countries can try to get a place in the Champions League by performing well in the "UEFA Cup-like" tournament. I think this should be good for soccer development.
Interesting to whom?... There already exists club championships under different names on all continents. The only thing your proposal does is excluding a lot of countries.
One club from each country bar some exceptions? Yet MLS gets the same number as Spain and England and more than Italy, Germany, Argentina and Mexico. Pointless thread; inter country competition is fine how it is.
Ever heard of arguments instead of cursing? This is a discussion board, right? No you don't understand what I mean. Don't remove those European countries, just the best 16 will sent to clubs to the Champions League! If other nations perform better, then they can sent clubs to the Champions League, that's how it also works today, so what's the problem? What I mean is: Merge Copa Libertadores and CONCACAF CL, and AFC CL and OFC CL. Then make it more easy by getting 2 teams from the best 16 countries. And don't split the AFC Champions League in a western and eastern division. If those teams play better teams, they can develop better. I think it's good for the quality of soccer for those teams.
No, it's not how it works today... today we have a flowing system, with the possibility to get in for everyone via qualification. You propose a sharp break between nation 16 and nation 17. And picking the 16 countrys from the back of your had instead of using the UEFA coefficiant didn't help your point, either. Do you think that a Champions League match between an Uzbekistan team an a Malaysian team would make enough money for the travelling team to cover the cost of flying halfway around the world? There are reasons for the split... Not to mention that it will be impossible to get the big English, Spanish and Italian clubs to give up CL berths, Platini already failed in that effort. The continents are different in financial, political and footballing terms, what works for one, doesn't necessarily work for all others. And just because you make a 32-team-CL it doesn't mean that it is strong.
