Black day for football. After the announcement of the one-year postponement of Euro 2020, the Copa America, which was to be held on the same dates, was postponed to 2021, revealed many South American media and in particular Globe Sports before UEFA confirms, “thanking the Conmebol for having accepted to postpone the competition“, in his press release.
The competition that must be contested in Argentina and Colombia has not withstood the spread of the coronavirus. With the containment measures imposed, especially in Europe, the organization of the competition this summer became impossible knowing that some of the South American players are playing on the old continent.
