The Copa América is the main men's football tournament contested among national teams from South America. It is the oldest continental football competition in the world and determines the continental champion of South America.

This inclusion adds a unique international flavor to the tournament.
Current CONMEBOL member nations include:
- Argentina
- Bolivia
- Brazil
- Chile
- Colombia
- Ecuador
- Paraguay
- Peru
- Uruguay
- Venezuela
The format of the Copa América has varied throughout its history. Typically, it involves a group stage followed by a knockout stage (quarter-finals, semi-finals, and final). The number of participating teams and the specific structure can change based on the edition.
Notable Records and AchievementsMany legendary players and iconic matches have graced the Copa América. Some key highlights include:
- Most Titles: Historically, Uruguay and Argentina have been among the most successful teams in the tournament's history.
- Top Goal Scorers: Numerous prolific goal scorers have left their mark on the competition.
