How to live stream the Copa America anywhere

Watching the Copa América can be difficult depending on what country you’re in. But don’t worry because in this guide we’re going to show you exactly how to do that and best of all, you won’t need an expensive cable subscription either!

This year is going to be the 46th edition of the Copa América, the football tournament that takes place every four years played between the CONMEBOL national teams from South America.

The championship will begin on 13th June, and it will end on 10th July. Brazil is the new host, and they are also defending champions who will be hoping to retain their crown.

Originally, Colombia was going to be the joint host for this edition with Argentina, but they changed the plan due to unrest in the country. Later Argentina was removed due to COVID restrictions.

A total of 12 teams will take part in the tournament. Ten teams belong to the CONMEBOL: Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Ecuador, Paraguay, Perú, Uruguay & Venezuela.

Argentina is among the most talented teams. It’s the second strongest team in the CONMEBOL, and it has a total of 14 tournaments won. They’re the team that scores the most goals in the whole CONMEBOL.

Brazil is another strong team that hopes to keep the trophy at home this year, since in previous opportunities when it was held there, they won the championship.

Chile is the previous two-time champion and they’re looking to win the cup after missing out last time.

Players to look out for

Lionel Messi from Argentina and Neymar from Brazil are probably the favourite players in this tournament.

Messi is the star player of FC Barcelona and the Argentina national team. He’s considered the best player in the world.

His whole professional career has been at the Barcelona where he has many trophies. He’s Argentina’s hope, and his goal is to take the CONMEBOL to his country since Argentina has played many of the last finals without success.

Neymar is the star of Paris Saint Germain and the influential leader of the Brazil national team.

The Chilean national team is the defending champions and among their stronger members are the keeper Claudio Bravo, and then Arturo Vidal and Alexis Sánchez.

Predictions for a winner

Brazil is one of the favourites without question. If they can win again, only time will tell. They will now have the home advantage too.

Argentina is the second favourite, with all the hopes on their captain, Lionel Messi.

Then, Chile, Colombia, and Uruguay complete the list of the possible champions.
