Copa América puts top national teams against each other to crown the champion of South America. This tournament stirs the greatest passion in the same way non-Hispanic viewers get excited about the Super Bowl – it’s nation vs. nation, where flag-waving, chanting, even group-dynamics can come into play: it becomes an almost tribal, shared experience.
“We are thrilled to be bringing such a prestigious tournament to the local Hispanic community,” said Diana Bald, Acting General Manager of TeleFutura WFPA. “Copa América is an exciting event and source of pride for all Hispanics.”
Copa América dates back 94 years, making it the longest-running, most-established soccer competition in the World; the 2004 edition will be the 41st time the competition is held. Held every four years, Copa América features all the national teams from South America and two guest nations in a series of elimination matches to determine the Champion of South America. The 2004 event will include 26 total matches, played in seven cities in Perú.
