Colombia removed as co-host of next month's Copa America

The Hindu  

South American soccer body CONMEBOL announced on Thursday that Colombia will not co-host next month's Copa America, a decision reached less than a month before the opening match and amid a wave of street protests against Colombian President Ivan Duque. CONMEBOL said in a statement it was impossible to postpone the tournament to November and assured it will inform “on the next days about the relocation of the matches which should be played in Colombia.” On Tuesday, Argentinian President Alberto Fernandez said his country would consider hosting the entire Copa America if Colombia was unable to co-host because of social unrest. A Copa Libertadores match last week between Colombia’s America de Cali and Brazil’s Atletico Mineiro was interrupted several times because of tear gas used to disperse the protesters. The decision to remove Colombia as a tournament host doesn't assure calmer days for Copa America.
