Ah okay I see now (anon with the European leagues ask here) So basically all the different European countries compete within their own leagues and then the top one or two teams from each league compete for winner takes all for the champions of Europe? Damn sounds exciting I should really get more into woso outside of NWSL! Kinda makes me wish there was something similar to that over here in North/South America :/
Oh bud do I have news for you.....
South America has this. It's called Copa Libertadores Femenina. Since last year Men's teams are forbidden from playing in their version of Copa Libertadores if they don't also have a women's team. It's made up of 16 teams from the leagues of 10 CONMEBOL countries. Next edition is scheduled for March 5-21, 2021 and will be hosted by Argentina. It's the 12th edition.
Currently the 16 teams are chosen by:
The Champions of the 10 leagues in South America
Title Holders
An extra team from whatever country is hosting the competition
4 teams from the most successful countries in the competition, one from each. Brazil, Chile, Colombia and Paraguay (usually the runner ups from the league)
The fun life thing is that, when you look at literally anything the US is the odd man out, not the rest of the world.... so.... you know, good news!
The Americas are well represented in a Champions League style competition, just you know, with CONMEBOL teams.
I hope this news is good?
