The 2015 Copa América will be the 44th edition of the Copa America, the main international Football Tournament for National Teams in South America.
The competition will be organized by CONMEBOL - South America's football Governing Body.
The tournament will be held in Chile from June 11 to July 04,2015
12 teams will compete, the10 members of CONMEBOL and 2 guests from CONCACAF – Mexico and Jamaica, the latter of which will compete in Copa América for the first time.
The Confederation of North, Central America and Caribbean Association Football is the continental Governing Body for Association Football in North America,Central America and the Caribbean
Host Chile will kick off the 44th edition of the Copa America on
Thursday, aiming to end one of the longest-running and most embarrassing
records in South American football.
In 36 attempts spanning 99 years, Chile has never won the continent’s
top competition. It has finished runner-up four times and third on five
occasions.
It is a statistic that rankles the Chileans. Even Bolivia, Colombia,
Paraguay and Peru — hardly footballing powerhouses — have at least one
Copa trophy to their name.
