Brazil will host the Next COPA AMERICA Tournament Scheduled for 2021.
The South American Football Confederation (Conmebol) said Argentina was removed as host because of the “present circumstances”.
The country is currently experiencing a surge in Covid-19 cases.
Later on Monday, Conmebol confirmed Brazil would host the showpiece event, which starts on 13 June.
No stadiums have yet been announced for the tournament in Brazil.
“Conmebol thanks the president @jairbolsonaro and his team, as well as the Brazilian Football Confederation for opening the doors of that country to what is today the safest sporting event in the world. South America will shine in Brazil with all its stars!” Conmebol said on Twitter.
The Tournament would feature competitive teams who would certainly partake to make it successful.
