Argentinian giants Boca Juniors and Italian side Roma are in talks to play in a four-team tournament in Qatar early next year, the South American country's envoy to the 2022 World Cup host said Friday.
Boca, who have been sponsored by Qatar Airways since May, could play other sides sponsored by the Gulf airline in the tournament including Roma, envoy Carlos Hernandez told AFP.
"Next year for sure, let's say in the first half of next year, could be much earlier," Hernandez said when asked about a possible Doha tournament involving Boca.
"Let's say end of May as a last possibility.
"I was told there were talks between Boca and Roma, because it would be a tournament of four."
