2021 Copa América Group A


Group A of the 2021 Copa América, also referred to as the South Zone, took place from 14 to 28 June 2021
in Brazil.[1] The group consisted of former co-hosts Argentina, Bolivia, Uruguay, Chile and Paraguay.[2] It would also have
included guests Australia before their withdrawal on 23 February 2021.[3]

Originally, Group A was scheduled to be played from 12 to 30 June 2020.[4] However, on 17 March 2020 the tournament was
postponed to 2021 due to the COVID-19 pandemic in South America.[5]

On 30 May 2021, Argentina was removed as co-host due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
