Big Clubs In Foreign Domestic National Cups.
How about big European nations invite selected foreign club sides into their domestic cup competitions?
It could be nearby nations. This could happen in men's, women's, and youth football.
The small countries would keep their national leagues, and keep their big teams in their national league, but teams could compete in the national cups of big countries, as guest sides.
For instance the Germans could invite selected big clubs from the Netherlands, Liechtenstein, Poland, Belgium, Denmark, Switzerland, Austria, the Czech Republic, and Luxembourg to compete as guest sides in the German Cup (The German Pokal Cup).
France could invite Belgian, Dutch, Liechtenstein, Swiss, and Luxembourg club sides as guest sides in the French Cup (Coupe de France).
Spain could invite sides from Andorra, Portugal, and Morocco, into their Spanish Cup as guest sides.
Italy could invite sides from Austria, Switzerland, Slovenia, Greece and Baltic nations as guests in the Italian Cup.
Scotland could invite sides from the Faroe Islands, and Iceland to play in the Scottish Cup, if they fund themselves.
Scandinavian countries could invite big sides from their neighbours in their national cups.
Poland could invite sides from Latvia, Estonia, and Lithuania into their Polish Cup.
Small countries could also invite sides from other countries to compete in their national cups. For instance the Austrians could invite some sides from the German-Austrian border into the Austrian national cups.
The Dutch could invite leading Belgian sides into their national cup, or vice versa.
Hungarian clubs could enter the Austrian Cup.
Slovakian sides could enter the Czech Republic's national cup.
The idea could happen in other continents.
For instance Brazil could invite Argentinian, and Uruguay club sides as guests in the Brazilian national cup.
The South African football could have a national cup with club sides from neighbouring nations taking part.
