Copa America 2021: Brazil march on, Chile face ‘barber’ fine

News and updates from the other continental football tournament taking place right now.

Copa America, the world’s oldest football tournament, is the other delayed continental event taking place right now in addition to the Euro 2020. The tournament, postponed from last year due to the coronavirus pandemic, was awarded to Brazil just two weeks before its start. It faced a great deal of opposition not just due to the rushed decision but also its impact on Brazil which has reported almost 18 million cases of the coronavirus, including more than 501,000 deaths, the second-highest in the world.
