List of Copa América finals

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Copa América is an international association football competition established in 1916.[1][2] It is contested by the men's national teams of the members of the Confederación Sudamericana de Fútbol (CONMEBOL), the sport's continental governing body.

Early editions of the tournament, then known as the South American Football Championship, consisted of a round-robin group, where the team with the most points was declared the champion (with a play-off to break a tie if necessary). In 1975, when the tournament was rebranded to its current title, a final stage using the single-elimination format was introduced, which culminates with a final match between the last two teams remaining in contention. This type of format has been used ever since, except in 1989 and 1991, which featured a final group stage.

With 15 titles each, Argentina and Uruguay are the most successful Copa América teams.[3] Brazil has nine. The other champions are Paraguay, Peru and Chile, with two titles each, and Bolivia, and Colombia, who have each won one.[4] The current champion is Argentina, having beaten Brazil in the 2021 final.
