This is not the first time such a clash has been scheduled, as it also happened in 1985 and 1993, when it was called the Artemio Franchi Trophy, or the European/South American Nations Cup. France won against Uruguay in 1985 and Argentina defeated Denmark in 1993.
It was revived this year as part of a renewed and extended Memorandum of understanding between UEFA and CONMEBOL on 15th December 2021.
