Copa America is without a host country only two weeks before kick-off after South American football body CONMEBOL ruled out Argentina amid an increase in COVID-19 cases in the country. It also said a new host will be announced “soon.” Copa America is scheduled to be played between June 13 and July 10. Like other continental tournaments, Copa America was initially scheduled for 2020, but the COVID-19 pandemic forced its postponement. The original idea of this Copa America was to start a new format with five teams based in each of the host countries. It would have been the first Copa America hosted by two countries.
