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.
