The announcement casts doubt on a tournament which has faced major hurdles since the start of the pandemic in March of last year.
Copa America is without a host country only two weeks before kick-off after South American football body CONMEBOL ruled out Argentina amid an increase in COVID-19 cases in the country. The announcement on Sunday night casts doubt on a tournament which has faced major hurdles since the start of the pandemic in March of last year. CONMEBOL said on Twitter — and it was later confirmed by an official — that it was analysing “the offer of other nations who showed interest in hosting the continental tournament,” without naming them.More Related News
