Copa América

**Copa América** (English: **America Cup**; previously called the **South American Championship** or **South American Championship of Nations**) is a football tournament that has the teams from CONMEBOL (South America). It was founded in 1916, and it is the oldest tournament that only has teams from a certain continent.

The Copa America is one of the most watched sporting events in the world. Previously, the winner of the tournament qualified for the now-abolished FIFA Confederations Cup.

The current format has 10 South American teams and two other teams from other FIFA federations in each tournament. The most successful teams have been Uruguay and Argentina, with 15 titles. Argentina won the last tournament.
