Dates & Venues

The 2020 Copa America tournament will be inaugurated with the first match on 12^th June 2020 in Argentina and will end exactly a month later, with the finale planned to be held on 12^th July 2020 in Colombia.

The two countries will altogether host a total of 38 matches, with 12 matches more than the 2019 Copa America. This increase in the number of matches is to facilitate the 12 different teams that are set to participate in the 2020 Copa America tournament.

Guest Teams

Apart from the ten member nations of the CONMEBOL, the 2020 Copa America will also see two guest nations – Australia and Qatar – playing for the Copa America crown this year.

The decision to invite the two non-member nations was taken after witnessing the impressive performance of team Qatar in the recently concluded 2019 Asian Cup championship where the team clinched the title after having won all seven games in the tournament. Team Qatar also played in the 2019 Copa America tournament.

Although team Australia fell short of expectations of soccer fans at the 2019 Asian Cup when it was knocked out of the tournament in the quarter-finals, the team’s overall impressive performance made them ideal candidates for the guest team at the 2020 Copa America tournament.
