Copa America News :: Copa America 2015 Kicks Off on June 12.

Posted on 2015-06-11 by Gooner

World Cup runners up Argentina start as favourites to win their first Copa America title in 22 years when this year's tournament kicks off in Chile in the early hours of Friday morning (UK time).

The tournament begins with hosts Chile facing Ecuador in Santiago on Friday morning (12th June), kick-off 00:30 BST. The final is held in Santiago on 4 July.

The three-week tournament sees 12 teams - 10 from south America and two invitees - compete in three groups, with the top two from each and the two best third-placed sides progressing to the knockout games.

Argentina were beaten by Germany in last summer's World Cup final and will hope to go one better in the Copa, with Barcelona forward Lionel Messi captaining them.

Barca team-mate Neymar is captain of Brazil but the third member of Barcelona's attack, Luis Suarez, is suspended and misses out for holders Uruguay.
