South American World Cup qualifiers in Europe?

And if South American qualification for the World Cup is done in Europe? That is the latest solution, according to 'Ovación', that FIFA are considering due to the coronavirus crisis. The aim is to avoid players travelling between continents.

But, if a player can't travel from South America to Europe to play, who would play? The squads of the national teams would be composed of just the players that are in Europe. Neymar, for example, could play for Brazil, as he is in France.

This would give an advantage to those teams whose best players are already in Europe. For now, no Federation has expressed its agreement or disagreement with this possible measure, which is not yet official.

The dates of the meetings and their venues would also be quite affected. There aren't many free days to play and FIFA still has no initial idea of when the South American matches will be able to be. Only time will shape the format.
