EURO 2020 champions Italy will face Copa America winners Argentina next June, UEFA has announced.

The match will bring the continental champions together for the first time ever, with the move another indicator of the continued co-operation between European football's governing body and its South American equivalent CONMEBOL

While UEFA shave aid the exact date and venue for the match is still to be decided, The Stadio Diego Armando Maradona in Naples - named after the Argentina and Napoli star who died last year - is the front-runner.

Both confederations have recently come out against FIFA's proposals to reform the international calendar, which include biennial World Cups, with UEFA saying an agreement had been reached for the newly-dubbed 'Copa EuroAmerica' match to take place for next year and twice thereafter.

"By reaching this agreement, UEFA and CONMEBOL express their commitment to the development of football beyond their geographical zones, as a bridge uniting people, countries, continents and cultures," a statement read.

"The UEFA executive committee and the CONMEBOL Council also expressed a strong willingness to continue collaborating on other issues of mutual interest going forward."
