The 2021 Copa América was the 47th edition of the Copa América, the international men's football championship organized by South America's football ruling body CONMEBOL. The tournament will take place in Brazil from 11 June to 10 July 2021. On 20 May 2021, Colombia was removed as co-host amid ongoing protests against Colombian President Ivan Duque, while on 30 May, Argentina was removed due to surging COVID-19 cases in the country. On 31 May 2021 CONMEBOL confirmed Brazil as host of the tournament. The tournament was originally scheduled to take place from 12 June to 12 July 2020 as the 2020 Copa América. On 17 March 2020, CONMEBOL announced that due to the COVID-19 pandemic in South America, the tournament had been postponed for a year, in conjunction with UEFA's decision to also postpone UEFA Euro 2020 to 2021.
Brazil are the title holders, having won their ninth title in 2019.
Background[]
In March 2017, CONMEBOL reportedly proposed that the Copa América take place in 2020 as part of a calendar change. Following the 2019 edition in Brazil, the quadrennial tournament would move from odd to even years starting in 2020, with the following edition taking place in Ecuador in 2024. This would move the tournament in line with the UEFA European Championship, which is also held in even years with a 2020 edition taking place. Reports suggested that the United States may host the tournament, having previously held the one-off Copa América Centenario in 2016, which celebrated the centenary of CONMEBOL and the Copa América. On 18 September 2018, plans for a calendar change were confirmed by CONMEBOL president Alejandro Domínguez after submitting an official request to FIFA.
On 26 October 2018 at the FIFA Council meeting in Kigali, Rwanda, the request was approved for the Copa América to take place in even years, starting with the 2020 edition. The tournament will take place between 12 June and 12 July 2020, the same dates as UEFA Euro 2020.
On 13 March 2019 CONMEBOL announced Argentina and Colombia as co-hosts of the 2020 event after the United States bid was rejected. It was officially announced the same day when CONMEBOL approved of the joint hosting. It was officially awarded on 9 April 2019 at the CONMEBOL Congress in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.
COVID-19 pandemic and postponement[]
In March 2020, the pandemic in South America of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) began impacting football. FIFA announced that the first two rounds of the South American qualifiers for the 2022 World Cup, due to take place in March, were postponed, while CONMEBOL temporarily suspended the Copa Libertadores. On 17 March 2020, CONMEBOL announced that the Copa América would be postponed to the following year, taking place from 11 June to 11 July 2021, in order to protect the health and safety of the teams, media, visitors and host cities. On the following day, the Bureau of the FIFA Council approved the date change in the FIFA International Match Calendar. As a result, the expanded FIFA Club World Cup, which was due to take place in June and July 2021, will be rescheduled.
Venues[]
The Brazilian government and the Brazilian Football Confederation announced on 1 June 2021, the cities of Brasília, Goiânia, Cuiabá and Rio de Janeiro as the hosts of the competition, with the following stadiums for the matches: Maracanã, Mané Garrincha, Pantanal and the Olímpico. The government will also allocate resources in the federal budget to provide the necessary support for the CONMEBOL's tournament logistics and security. Maracanã will host the final on 10 July.
