The Copa América is the oldest international competition in the world. The tournament began in 1916, with the first edition being held in Argentina.
The tournament's trophy is extremely rare in the sporting world due to its historical value. The trophy has undergone changes over the years and is marked by the presence of plaques with the different champions.
Argentina and Uruguay, tied with 15 wins each, are the most successful Copa América champions. The Albiceleste, the reigning world champions, also have 14 runners-up.
Brazil last won the tournament in 2019, when they overcame Peru in the final. The green and yellows are still a long way behind their rivals in the race to become the continent's greatest champions.
Brazil have won nine titles, the third most in the competition. This year's competition will include teams from CONCACAF. The tournament has never been won by a non-South American team, but Mexico has reached two Copa América finals in 1993 and 2001.
