Copa America Quick Facts Every Football Fan Must Know

Dual Hosts

The 2020 Copa America marks the first time that the tournament will be held in two different countries – Argentina and Colombia – after more than 36 years since it was played such in 1983 on a home-away basis. This is also the first time that the Copa America tournament will be co-hosted by two countries. A total of 9 venues (5 in Argentina and 4 in Colombia) have been chosen to host the tournament matches. Argentina will host the matches for the North Zone group while Colombia is responsible for hosting matches for the teams in the South Zone group.

This decision to have the tournament hosted by two countries came after CONMEBOL president, Alejandro Dominguez announced it as a step towards “bringing the parties to the people and feeding the football festival”, as per a statement given to AS.

Dates & Venues

The 2020 Copa America tournament will be inaugurated with the first match on 12th June 2020 in Argentina and will end exactly a month later, with the finale planned to be held on 12th 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. In addition to the two guest teams of Qatar and Australia, the other participants in the 2020 Copa America tournament include co-hosts Argentina and Colombia, along with current champions Brazil, Chile, Uruguay, Ecuador, Paraguay, Peru, Bolivia and Venezuela.

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.
