The state of North American soccer has changed forever. CONMEBOL and CONCACAF—the governing bodies for international football in South America and North and Central America and the Caribbean, respectively—have announced a plan to create a special tournament in 2016 called Copa America Centenario, to be held on the 100th anniversary of the first Copa America tournament back in 1916.
This is great news for American soccer. This is amazing news for American soccer. This is everything we could have asked for…for American soccer. (No, I am not overstating any of this.)
The event will take place from June 3 to June 26, 2016, coinciding with the Euro '16 tournament across the Atlantic, giving American soccer fans a chance to see top-level European talent play during the day and watch top-level teams from our side of the globe at night. And when I say watch, I mean actually watch in person.
Yes, a tournament to commemorate the centennial of an organization comprised exclusively of South American nations is taking place in the United States! Of America!
