Lore & Background
The tournament was created as an additional competition for Supercopa winners. The first edition in 1992 featured all four champions at the time and was played in Buenos Aires. The second edition was to be played in 1994 but moved to 1995, with only two eligible teams accepting the invitation. A third edition was scheduled for 1998 but was delayed and eventually cancelled due to a lack of sponsors.
