If the lead-up is any indication, we’re in for an eventful 2021 Copa America, the regional championship for South American nations.
The 47th edition of the world’s longest-running international soccer tournament was originally scheduled for 2020 in Colombia and Argentina, but it was pushed by a year due to the COVID-19 pandemic and it also moved to a new host country just two weeks before kickoff. After early reports of a potential player boycott, the tournament is in its first full week of competition.
