Copa America 2021 - Where to watch live streaming in India, get fixtures and full schedule of matches
Champions Brazil are in a relatively easier group while Argentina are clubbed with Uruguay and Chile. Watch Copa America live in India!
The 47th edition of the world’s oldest running international football competition -- Copa America -- will get underway on Sunday (Monday morning in India) with defending champions and hosts Brazil taking on Venezuela in Brasília.
Copa America was initially scheduled to be held in Argentina and Colombia last year but was postponed to 2021 due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Colombia were dropped as hosts due to political unrest in the country while Argentina was dropped due to rising coronavirus cases. CONMEBOL, the South America football confederation, thus moved Copa America 2021 to Brazil.
Qatar and Australia were originally slated to participate on an invitation but they opted out because of the pandemic.
Copa America 2021 is a 10-team affair with a number of football superstars like Lionel Messi, Neymar Jr. and Luis Saurez hoping to guide their teams to success. The five-time world champions Brazil start as favourites.
Top guns Argentina, Uruguay and Chile are in the same group and that will mean some exciting contests at the group stages that run till June 29.
