This mini-tournament would oppose four European teams, including the defending champion of the C1, according to the newspaper l'Equipe.
Also according to the sports daily, it was proposed in a tender document for the period 2024-2027.
Contacted by AFP, UEFA admitted that it was "an idea mentioned in the call for tenders, but nothing has been decided".
This change would not necessarily increase the number of matches, according to a source familiar with the matter.
From the 2024-2025 season, synonymous with the new C1 formula, the Champions League will begin with an 8-day mini-championship with 36 teams, compared to 32 clubs currently playing the group stage over 6 days.
In total, 225 matches will be played, instead of 125 today.
