The Copa America holds the proud record of being the longest running continental tournament in world football, dating back to its inauguration in 1916.
The tournament had undergone plenty of changes and updates in the 100 years and more that have followed — including a name change from the South American Championship — with major expansions to include more teams from the CONMEBOL federation and its neighbours in CONCACAF.
Changes in format and greater global attention has elevated the Copa America to rival the European Championships as a major international tournament.
Teams from South America have dominated the majority of Copa America tournaments as the wait for a CONCACAF winner stretches on ahead of the 2024 tournament in the USA.
