Brazil to host 2021 Copa America
CONMEBOL has confirmed the 2021 Copa America will go ahead as planned, with Brazil taking over hosting duties.
This year's edition of the tournament – postponed from 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic – had been due to be shared between Colombia and Argentina.
However, Colombia lost co-hosting status amid mounting political unrest in the country, while the event then needed to find a new location after a surge in coronavirus cases ruled out playing games in Argentina.
CONMEBOL met on Monday to determine the future of the competition, electing to move the tournament to Brazil, who were crowned champions on home soil in 2019.
A post from the governing body's official Twitter account read: "The CONMEBOL Copa America 2021 will be played in Brazil!
"Tournament start and end dates are confirmed. The venues and the fixture will be informed by CONMEBOL in the next few hours. The oldest national team tournament in the world will make the whole continent vibrate!"
The tournament will run from 13 June to 10 July.
