Way before the first World Cup in 1930 & UEFA Cup in 1960, there was the Copa America – the oldest international soccer tournament in the world, played for the first time in 1916. Now in 2016, the U.S. will host the first ever Copa America outside of Latin America’s borders. The countdown is on for the U.S. to take center stage for the biggest soccer event of the century: Copa America Centenario. An unparalleled best-in-class event, after 1994 FIFA World Cup, the Copa America Centenario will become a milestone in America’s history for embracing diversity, sports and tradition.
