The Copa America Championship for Latin teams will finally start today, after a period of doubt, from which the tournament was moved from a joint organization in Argentina and Colombia, to be held in Brazil, by a decision of the Brazilian Supreme Court, the day before yesterday.
In light of the many complications related to the Corona pandemic, the Brazilians hope that the tournament will be organized in safe conditions, especially as it is held in light of a bubble and strict precautionary measures, and without a public presence.
Brazil is betting to defend its title in the opening match against Venezuela on a group of big stars, led by coach Tite, led by Neymar.
On the other hand, Argentina will be on a date with a new opportunity for the first star, Lionel Messi, to win a major title, after three missed opportunities in the 2014 World Cup and the 2015 and 2016 Copa America.
Since June 21, 2016, Messi has been the best scorer in Argentina's history (72 goals in 144 games), but he was satisfied with nine goals in 27 Copa America matches.
Tomorrow, Argentina will face Chile, which won the 2015 and 2016 titles, and Tango hopes that Brazil will be a good omen for them, as will Colombia on a date with Ecuador.
• A decision by the Supreme Court of Brazil granted the green light for the tournament.
