caption_attribution_description: English: The Brazil national football team that won the Copa America in 1919. Standing: Píndaro (Flamengo), Sérgio I (Paulistano), Marcos (Fluminense), Fortes (Fluminense), Bianco (Palestra Itália) and Amílcar (Corinthians); Kneeling: Millón (Santos), Neco (Corinthians), Friedenreich (Paulistano), Héitor (Palestra Itália) and Arnaldo (Santos).
context_page_description: The Copa América is South America's major tournament in senior men's soccer and determines the continental champion. Until 1967, the tournament was known as South American Championship. It is the oldest continental championship in the world with its first edition held in 1916.
  Brazil have won the tournament 9 times, which makes them the third-most successful team in tournament history behind Uruguay and Argentina.
  They were particularly successful from 1997 to 2007, winning four out of five Copas during that time. Zizinho, who competed in the 1940s and 1950s, is both the player with the most matches and the most goals in tournament history, though he shares both records. After winning the 2019 Copa América, Brazil are the current defending champions.
  Pelé, the "Player of the Century", has never won the continental title and only competed in one South American Championship in 1959. However, he did present his impressive scoring abilities with 8 goals in 6 matches, becoming that edition's top scorer and most valuable player.
