Copa America postponed until 2021 because of coronavirus

The Copa America was postponed until 2021 on Tuesday because of the coronavirus outbreak. South American soccer body CONMEBOL said the tournament in Colombia and Argentina will be played between June 11 and July 11 — the same dates as the postponed European Championship.

“We also thank UEFA and its president, Aleksander Čeferin, for the joint work and the coordinated decision to also postpone Euro 2020 for the benefit of all the soccer family.” The last Copa America was played in Brazil in 2019 and won by the hosts. This year’s edition was expected to open a new era with the tournament every four years, at the same time as the European Championship.
