Spain and UEFA proposed playing the Finalissima between the European champion and the American champion in Madrid, after the war in the Middle East caused Qatar to be removed as a venue.

This same Thursday, the president of Conmebol, Alejandro DomĂ­nguez will travel to Buenos Aires to meet with Tapia and try to resolve the conflict with UEFA and the RFEF.

Tapia personally presented a brief without answering questions when being investigated this Thursday in the case investigating an alleged improper withholding of contributions for 19,000 million pesos.
