The 2020 Copa América will be the 47th edition of the Copa América, the quadrennial international men's football championship organized by South America's football ruling body, CONMEBOL. The tournament will take place from 12 June to 12 July 2020, with a host yet to be decided. Starting from this edition, the tournament will switch to be held in even-numbered years, with the next edition taking place in 2024.

Background

In March 2017, CONMEBOL reportedly proposed that the Copa América take place in 2020 as part of a calendar change.[2] 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.[3] 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.[4] On 18 September 2018, plans for a calendar change were confirmed by CONMEBOL president Alejandro Dominguez after submitting an official request to FIFA.[5]

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.[6] The tournament will take place between 12 June and 12 July 2020, the same dates as UEFA Euro 2020.[1]

Teams

All ten CONMEBOL national teams are eligible to enter.

It is expected that a 12-team or 16-team tournament will be held, with two or six teams from outside CONMEBOL being invited.
