Brazil will host the next edition of the Copa America in 2019, the head of the South American governing body CONMEBOL has said.
CONMEBOL president Alejandro Dominguez has confirmed Brazil as host of the 2019 edition of the Copa America. Brazil were set to host the event in 2015 due to the tournament's alphabetical rotation policy, but Chile were chosen instead due the former's increasingly packed calendar.
Brazil held the 2013 Confederations Cup followed by the 2014 World Cup, and are set to host the 2016 Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro in August. It will be the fifth time Brazil has hosted the continental championship, which has recently featured some guest sides from outside of South America. Brazil won the 1919, 1922, 1949 and 1989 editions it hosted.
