Alejandro Dominguez.
Chile secured back-to-back Copa America victory with a win against Argentina in the second year in a running. Meanwhile, Chile's 2015 Copa America victory has qualified them a place in the 2017 FIFA confederation cup and Dominguez has confirmed a proposal has been sent to the Uefa body for a one-game match between Copa America champion and Euro Champion.
"We have received a positive response from UEFA about a match between the Copa America and Euro champions," Dominguez posted via his official Twitter account.
"We will study a viable date to set."
The match will serve as a prelude to
the Artemio Franchi Trophy, which is set to make its return in 2018.
However, the tournament has been held twice before in 1985 and 1993 between the winners of the Copa and Euros. France defeated Uruguay 2-0 in the maiden tournament, before Argentina edged Denmark in a penalty shoot-out eight years later.
The 2018 edition, to be held in Milan, will feature 2015 Copa champions Chile and runners-up Argentina against the Euro 2016 winners and losing finalist.
