After that, however, organisers have said enough is enough and the tournament will thereafter be held every four years. The decision is part of a widespread revamp designed by the South American Football Confederation (CONMEBOL) to bring all their tournaments more into line with the European model. The Copa will be held every four years in the same year as the European Championship. At club level, gone are the home and away finals of the Copa Libertadores and Copa Sudamericana, to be replaced by one off games in neutral venues. Brazil have not won the Copa America since 2007 and coach Tite needs a good performance after a disappointing World Cup in Russia, where the five-times world champions were eliminated in the quarter-finals.
