The first Copa America tournament in history to played outside of South America will be held in the United States from June 3rd to June 26th. The tournament has a rich history that dates back to 1916 and is held as part of an agreement between CONCACAF and CONMEBOL. This year there will be 16 teams that will compete for the right to become champion and earn the automatic berth into to the 2017 FIFA Confederations Cup. Some of the world’s best teams will travel to North America for the tournament including Argentina, Brazil, Colombia, and Mexico. With an increased number of teams in the tournament this year, there will now be four groups featuring four teams competing throughout the country. In Group A, the host nation United States, Colombia, Costa Rica, and Paraguay. Group B will feature Brazil, Ecuador, Haiti, and Peru. Group C will feature Mexico, Uruguay, Venezuela, and Jamaica.

Argentina is only a title behind Uruguay for the most all time, while Brazil has the third most championships with eight. Chile won the 2015 event and will look to advance past Group D in June.
