South America’s ultimate prize will be at stake once again. Brazil, who hosted the previous edition of the tournament, will hold the Copa America 2021 looking to retain the trophy at home once again. Here you’ll find the complete schedule of La Verde-amarela in the competition.
Ever since Tité took the helm of the team, it became arguably the mightiest side in the continent and a serious contender to fight for the next 2022 World Cup. It proved its strength in 2019 by achieving continental glory, and it is expected to do it again in the upcoming cup.
Brazil are favorites to lead the way in Group B, where they’ll faceEcuador, Colombia, Peru, and Venezuela. As the tournament is looming around, it’s time to take a look at the hosts’ schedule in Copa America 2021.
Brazil vs Venezuela – June 13
La Verde-amarela will kick off the tournament against Venezuela at 5 PM (ET) at Estadio Mané Garrincha in Brasilia. Brazil have faced them in the last Copa America group stage too in a goalless affair. To begin their journey towards a back-to-back championship, getting off on the right foot could be crucial.
Brazil vs Peru – June 17
On Matchday 2 of Group B, Brazil will take on Peru in sort of a rematch of the 2019 final in Río de Janeiro but this time they’ll meet at Estadio Olímpico Nilson Santos at 8 PM (ET). After beating them to claim the trophy, Tité’s boys have also faced Ricardo Gareca‘s team in the World Cup Qualifiers 2022 in a controversial win.
Brazil vs Colombia – June 23
After having a bye week on Matchday 3, Brazil will return to action for a big game against Colombia,also at 8 PM (ET) at Nilson Santos in Río de Janeiro. Fortunately for them, they’ll have a much-needed rest to face one of the toughest group rivals. The importance of this game could be huge depending on their previous results.
Brazil vs Ecuador – June 27
To conclude the group stage, Brazil will face Ecuador on the fifth roundat 5 PM (ET) atEstadio Olímpico Pedro Ludovico Teixeira in Goiânia. Unless they’ve gotten to a poor start, both sides should be heading to this game comfortably.
