After Argentina pulled out of Copa America 2021 hosting duties on the weekend, the virus-variant-hit Brazil will take over, prompting criticism and disbelief from politicians, local media, and medical experts.
In a video, the president of the South American Football Confederation (CONMEBOL), Alejandro Domínguez, said Copa América 2021 will be held in the Brazilian cities of Brasilia, Cuiabá, Goiânia, and Rio de Janeiro and promises to release the schedule soon. The original start date for the tournament is June 13.
