One of the biggest soccer or soccer tournaments all over the world.  It's not quite as big as the Copa America World Cup, but other than that, there are very few better showcases of the beautiful game after Copa America.  So today I want to go over some key aspects about the Copa America.  Talk about which teams actually participate in this particular event.  What is the frequency schedule?  like how was it

The mat set up basically introduces you to all the key aspects of the Copa America.  So let's start with a general definition and then we will break down these specifics but the Copa América is the main men's football tournament, being the continental governing body of football in South America it is contested between national teams from the CONMEBOL County Bowl  .  So with the Copa America battling for supremacy in South America, each confederation under FIFA has its own unique competition for its own continent.  UEFA has the European Championships that take place every four years, we know CONCACAF has the Gold Cup colt has the African Cup of Nations and so on.  It is again equivalent to the Copa America for South America, not as big as the World Cup, with the World Cup every four years with the Copa America determining the international champion of the world.  This determines the champion of South America for more than 100 years as being very prestigious in its own right because of the number of teams and which nations participate in the Copa América.

There have been many ups and downs in the last century.  Also it started as a four-team tournament and then went up to six seven ten at various points, but since 1993, it has been a 12 team tournament.  So how do we get to those 12 teams while the ten teams in South America automatically qualify those nations Brazil Argentina Uruguay Paraguay Chile Peru Colombia Ecuador Venezuela and Bolivia.  This is primarily a competition for South American.  Ins however in contrast to how the Euro consists of only European teams, the Copa América actually has teams from other confederations competing as well.  That's why I mentioned it in the 12 team event, while we get 10 from South America and then two guest countries from the rest of the world are invited, for example in 2019, Japan and Qatar were invited in 2021 among other countries  was.  This is Australia and Qatar so technically a non South American team can win the Copa America.  However, this never happened in the tournament.

History has come the closest and outsider, a Mexico making finals in 1993 and 2001, with an exception to the current 12 team format in 2016.  Since it was the 100th anniversary of that event.  They invited six teams from CONCACAF for a total of 16 nations for the Copa América Centenario, which are now going out of schedule, when is the Copa America and how often does it take place?  Well like the World Cup and Euro Copa America in general we played in the summer to avoid scheduling conflicts with the club football season running from August to May, June and July can get the Copa for a month, frequency throughout  A lot has changed in time.  You can see as I pull up a list of all the different years.  There has been a Copa America.  Sometimes it was played every summer from 2001 to 2007, sometimes every other summer.  It used to be played every three years and I Am Copa America every four years, but there is still some liquidity with it.

Connie Bowl wants this to be a quadrennial event.  But with the Centennial Tournament in 2016, that broke Formula Cove.  It has even thrown a monkey wrench into things.  So it goes from 20 to 21 in the past, the Copa America certainly hasn't been as rigid as the World Cup or the Euros, which are very structured, you know, any exceptions like a meticulous one every four years.  The circle is not played on.  Will Copa America be trying to stay on the same schedule as the euro moving forward.  The most important takeaway here is to expect a cold.  Ava rotates among the ten members of the Kami Bowl in 20 24 28 2032 as well as the host nation.  So there is usually one host per tournament, though occasionally.  We see that many teams from all 10 South American countries earn income equivalent to hosting the Copa America at least once in the history of the event.  Eventually.  Let's talk about dealing with America's format.  So we have our 12 teams and the Copa America, like the World Cup and many other major football tournaments, has a group stage.

As well as a knockout stage to determine a champion since 1993, the 12 teams are divided into three groups of four teams, each country playing a game against the other three nations in their group, giving you three points for the win.  One point for a draw and 0 points for a loss after each team has played all three of their group stage games.  The standings are calculated and the three group winners advance as well as the three group runners-up and the two best third-placed teams, for a total of 8 out of 12.  Teams advance to the knockout stage and for 20-21 just a bowl of calm aside decided to have two groups of six teams instead of the usual three groups of four.  They made that choice for geographic purposes, and in that case each team plays five group games instead of three, but still the best eight teams advance to the knockout stage and, to the knockout stage, the eight teams in a single-elimination knockout.  was conducted.  Tournament.  This is an example of what the bracket looked like in the 2019 quarter finals.

me finals and a final knockout game may go for extra time and penalties if necessary to decide the winner We play these knockout games until we have a country standing and the winner of the final is historically  Be it your Copa America champion or a Guyanese Argentina and Brazil have achieved the most success.  They have won the most titles and the Copa Goba América is the hottest place north of Havana.  Anyway, thanks a lot for watching.  I hope you learned something about the Copa America today.  It formats its frequency to everything about it.  But if you want more soccer and soccer content enjoy.
