The 2016 Copa América Centenario (Centennial Copa America) will take place in the United States of America and this actually is the first ever Copa América that will be hosted by a country outside of South America. Indeed, Copa América Centenario comes as a celebration of the centenary of “CONMEBOL” (South American Football Confederation) and in general this will be the 45th edition of Copa América. First one was obviously back in 1916 and 100 years later we are set for the first ever competition with 16 teams involved. This comes as an agreement between both American football federations (CONMEBOL and CONCACAF), as a very unique edition between the regular Copa América that usually takes place in four-year cycle.
Ten teams coming from CONMEBOL and six more from CONCACAF will form all four groups and you can find out the most intriguing and important things you need to know at Bettingtips365.net.
