SAO PAULO (Reuters) - This month's Copa America will be the third in four years but for those suffering from an overdose of South American soccer there is an end in sight. 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.
