The European/South American Nations Cup, also known as Artemio Franchi Trophy was an official association football competition held twice (1985 and 1993) between the champions of the UEFA European Championship and the Copa América. Organised by UEFA and CONMEBOL,[1] it was the national team equivalent to the Intercontinental Cup featuring the European and South American champions clubs,[2] and can be considered a precursor of the King Fahd Cup, played in 1992 for the first time and renamed the FIFA Confederations Cup after FIFA took over its organization for the third edition in 1997.[3][4]
The trophy was named after the late Artemio Franchi, former President of UEFA who died in a road accident in 1983. Besides, the 1993 edition –where Argentina beat Denmark–[5][6] was the last title won by Diego Maradona with the national team.[7][3]
