Draws for the 2016 "Copa America" tournament were made yesterday. They determined that the finalists of last year's championship, the footballers from Chile and Argentina, will meet already in the group stage in the championship taking place in the USA. The Chileans, who played at home, defeated Lionel Messi's team after a series of penalty shootouts, so Gerardo Martino's players will seek revenge with all their might. The strongest national teams of 2015 will meet in the first match of Group D, which will take place on June 6. Meanwhile, the hosts of "Copa America," the Americans, found themselves in a tough group - they will have to compete with the national teams of Paraguay, Costa Rica, and Colombia. All tournament groups: Group A: USA, Paraguay, Costa Rica, Colombia. Group B: Brazil, Peru, Haiti, Ecuador. Group C: Mexico, Venezuela, Jamaica, Uruguay. Group D: Argentina, Bolivia, Panama, Chile. We remind you that this year's "Copa America" is organized by the South American Football Confederation (CONMEBOL) and the tournament itself marks its centenary. Because of this, teams from the North, Central American and Caribbean Football Confederation (CONCACAF) will participate, and the tournament is being held outside South America for the first time.
