Copa America Centenario: Full printable bracket
By David Rouben
A full printable bracket for the Copa America Centenario.
The much-anticipated 100th anniversary of the Copa America is nearly upon us, and for the first time in tournament history, it will be hosted in the United States. This is because of a special agreement between the North and South American football federations known as CONCACAF and CONMEBOL.
The Copa America is usually held every four years, but despite having one just last year, it will be held again this year as a celebration of the 100th anniversary of the competition being founded. The field is usually 12 teams, but it has been expanded to 16 to include six teams from CONCACAF.
The stars are expected to come out for this competition. Lionel Messi’s status is in doubt after he got injured in a friendly against Honduras, he could still feature at some point during the tournament. Even without him, Argentina are still good enough to get out of their group. But even without Messi, some of the biggest names in football are still expected to be there, including James Rodriguez, Clint Dempsey, Alexis Sanchez, and Chicharito.
The official Copa America website has a detailed version of the tournament’s bracket, but World Soccer Talk was kind enough to provide a printable version. Simply click on the image below to access the bracket and print it out:
Of course, the teams have a group stage to get through before worrying about the bracket portion of the tournament.
This year’s Copa America is stacked with talent, and after Chile won the last edition of it, expect the target to be on their backs this time around.
