Tottenham could miss out on another trophy chance against Milito's team

Tottenham emerged triumphant in the Europa League, securing their first international trophy in years. The Spurs had another shot at silverware on the continental stage, but now, through no fault of their own, that opportunity could slip away.

Details: In 2023, UEFA and CONMEBOL organized the Challenge Cup between the Europa League winners and the Copa Sudamericana holders. So far, only one match has taken place for this trophy, and there is a real chance it could be the last.

The reason is a congested fixture calendar, leaving no room for another match. For the same reason, the game between Atalanta and Ecuador's LDU Quito did not take place. Currently, Racing Club from Argentina is in talks with Tottenham about staging the Challenge Cup in the USA or Argentina, but football.london rates the chances of Diego Milito's side as slim.

For the record: In 2015 and 2016, the Euroamericana Super Cup was held between the same trophy holders. River Plate won the inaugural edition, defeating Sevilla 1-0, and the following year the Andalusians got their revenge, but against Colombia's Santa Fe. However, these matches were not officially recognized.
