Aftershowing an improvement in the South American World Cup Qualifiers,Bolivia are getting ready to make their debut in the upcoming Copa America 2021. César Farías‘ boysare the underdogs in a tough group, but they will try to secure a place between the best-four.
La Verde are probably used to running from behind on the odds but they already know whatlifting this trophy is like, and not every team can say the same. Even though it seems difficult to repeat, the feat achieved in 1963 will always remember them thatwinning the titleisn’t impossible.
However, they were grouped in a challenging zone alongside Argentina, Chile, Paraguay, and Uruguay. With the tournament’s kickoff looming around, it’s time to take a look at Bolivia’s schedule in Copa America 2021.
Bolivia vs Paraguay – June 14
Bolivia will begin their Copa America 2021 journey against Paraguay at Estadio Olímpico Pedro Ludovico Teixeira in Goiânia at 8 PM (ET). Neither of these games will be easy, but if they want to progress to the next round they must not drop points in their first match.
Bolivia vs Chile – June18
On Matchday 2, things will keep on getting harder for La Verde. This time, they’ll clash with Chile at Arena Pantanal in Cuiabá at 5 PM (ET). La Roja got used to fighting for the trophy in recent years, but they find themselves in a different spot right now with a coach that has been appointed only a few months ago. Besides, Bolivia held them to a draw in a World Cup Qualifier fixture recently.
Bolivia vs Uruguay – June 24
César Farías’ boyswill have a bye week on Matchday 3, enabling them to prepare with more time for a tough opponent. Uruguay will be waiting for them on the fourth round also at Cuiabá at 5 PM (ET).

Bolivia vs Argentina – June 28
