This actually helps European nations in increased TV revenues, better competition in so called friendlies and less travel (benefits players, pocket book, and club teams).

The more I learn about this, the more I like it.

I think they only invited "latin" countries:

"France, Italy, Spain and Portugal are set to be invited to play at the 2019 Copa America in Brazil."

The tournament will be played every two years and the chance to enter the Euro, for teams that did not qualify through the normal qualification, will be as stated below. "The first four teams in every league (Serie A though D) will have a playoff for a place in the Euros. Interesting.

"Le prime quattro in classifica di ogni lega, non qualificate a Euro 2020, giocheranno gli spareggi nel marzo 2020 per un posto nella fase finale del torneo continentale."
