"This is an extraordinary measure for an unexpected situation and responds to the fundamental need to avoid the exponential evolution of the virus," said CONMEBOL president Alejandro Dominguez. Dominguez said the rescheduled tournament would be played between June 11 and July 11, 2021. Have no doubts that the oldest international tournament in the world will be back stronger than ever in 2021." The Copa America is one of the biggest draws on the football calendar, with players such as Lionel Messi, Neymar, Sergio Aguero, Luis Suarez, and James Rodriguez all expected to take part. The Euro 2020 finals, which was due to take place over the same dates across 12 countries in Europe, was also postponed for a year.
