Re: Copa America tourney....

Why are Japan and Qatar playing in a South American organizing body tournament?

CONCACAF is a North, Central and Caribbean league only right.

Is Copa America not restricted to the South American region (countries) only?

Copa America always invites 2 outside teams. Usually at least 1 Concacaf team, most often Mexico. but, the Concacaf gold cup is going on now. The Copa is supposed to be played every 4 years. But, it was played in 2015 and then again in 2016 because 2016 was a 100 years after the original tournament.

The 2019 is supposed to be the last of the odd year tournaments. They'll play again in 2020 to start the new calendar of even number years playing around the same time as the Euros.

Interesting. Thanks for the insight!
