Colombia To Host 2020 Copa America Final

Colombia will host the final of the 2020 Copa America, the Colombian Football Federation (FCF) has confirmed.

The tournament is being co-hosted with Argentina, but the FCF said on Friday it will stage the final for only the second time.

Colombia hosted the 2001 competition, when they won their first Copa America title by beating Mexico 1-0 in the final on home soil.

“The executive committee of the Colombian Football Federation is proud and happy to announce that the final of the Copa America Colombia-Argentina 2020 will be played in our country,” an FCF statement said.

“For Colombia, it is a privilege to have this vote of confidence on the part of CONMEBOL, to elect us as the venue for the final of the most important tournament in South America.”

Colombia were eliminated from this year’s edition of the tournament after their own penalty shoot-out on Friday.

They and holders Chile had played out a goalless draw, although Chile had two goals ruled out by VAR.
