In 2016, two large football tournaments are planned with the participation of national teams. In summer, fans will be able to enjoy more than just the football battles of UEFA EURO 2016. In early June, the America's Football Cup begins in the United States.
Copa America (America's Cup) is a tournament among the national football teams from South America. This competition is held every few years (at different times the tournament was separated by two, three or four years). In 2016, Copa America will take place outside the South American continent for the first time. The tournament is timed to celebrate the centenary of the Konmebol zone, which includes the national football federations of the countries of South America.
16 teams will take part in Copa America 2016. The ten South American teams will be joined by six teams from North and Central America and the Caribbean. The composition of the groups for Copa America 2016 is as follows.
Group A
Group A traditionally hosts the host country of the tournament. At Copa America 2016, it is the USA team. The rivals of the North Americans are the national teams of Colombia, Paraguay and Costa Rica.
Group B
In Quartet B, one can clearly see the favorite not only of the group, but of the entire tournament - the five-time world champion, the Brazilian national team, will play here. In the group stage, the pentacampi will face off against the national teams of Peru, Ecuador and the Republic of Haiti.
Group C
Group C does not have such a clear favorite. The athletic draw determined the national teams of Mexico and Uruguay, with a high-quality selection of players, for this quartet. The two second national teams from this group were the teams of Jamaica and Venezuela.
Group D
In the Quartet D group matches, football spectators will be able to see a repeat of last year's America's Cup final. The national teams of Argentina and Chile fell into one group. With a high degree of probability, it is these teams that will continue the storm for the honorary trophy in the playoffs. Panama and Bolivia will be the rivals of these top South American teams in the group.
Copa America 2016 matches will be held in ten cities in the United States. The tournament starts on June 3rd. The closing of the championship is scheduled for the 26th day of the same month.
