Hello! Thanks for choosing the CA 2016 thread, here you can discuss about your favorite teams, players and other football-related. If you do not know what is CA 2016, your question are answered down below! What is Copa America Centenario? The Copa América Centenario (English: Centennial Copa America) is an international men's association football tournament being held in the United States in 2016. The competition is a celebration of the centenary of CONMEBOL and the Copa América, and is the first Copa América hosted outside of South America. The tournament is the 45th edition of Copa América since its inception in 1916. It is being held as part of an agreement between CONMEBOL (the South American football confederation) and CONCACAF (the football confederation for North and Central America and the Caribbean) as a special edition between the usual four-year cycle, and features an expanded field of 16 teams (an increase from the usual 12), with all ten teams from CONMEBOL and six teams from CONCACAF. The winner of this tournament will not receive an invitation to the 2017 FIFA Confederations Cup, as Chile has already qualified by winning the 2015 Copa América. How was it planned? In February 2012, Alfredo Hawit, then Acting President of CONCACAF, announced that the competition would be expected to take place in 2016, as a celebration of CONMEBOL's centenary. CONMEBOL President Nicolás Leoz said "Hopefully we can organize a big event, because we have 100 years and we want to celebrate big." The tournament was announced by CONMEBOL on 24 October 2012 and confirmed by CONCACAF on 1 May 2014. On 26 September 2014, FIFA announced that the tournament had been added to the FIFA International Match Calendar, meaning that clubs had to release players called up to the competition.s Will the best players will be there? Yes, there will be players like Alexis Sanchez, Leo Messi, James Rodriguez, and other famous players who will fight for the trophy.

My bet is on Brazil winning. Yes, they failed at the World Cup but they did brilliantly in all matches prior and all matches since Update: well that was a pie in the sky prediction Dernière modification le 1465934040000 |
