Firstly, let's introduce the background of the Copa America, which represents the strongest competition in the Americas. It was first held in 1916 and has a very long history. At the beginning, the Copa America was held once a year, but such frequent matches were obviously not realistic for teams and fans. Therefore, starting from 1963, the Copa America was changed to be held every four years.

The meme of "6 years and 4 editions", which has always been used as a laughing stock by fans, will start in 2015. In fact, the 2015 Copa America was held according to normal tournament rules, as the previous tournament was held in 2011. However, there are clearly significant issues in the upcoming events.

In 2016, the Copa America celebrated its 100th anniversary. So, in order to make this milestone moment more meaningful, the American Football Association decided to hold a Copa America competition. So, a year later, the second Copa America came again, which is actually reasonable. After all, holding a game on such a grand festival is completely understandable.

In 2019, it was once again a regular time for hosting, which fully complied with the rules. However, the 2020 Copa America was announced to be held again, entirely because they wanted to align with FIFA's advocacy and align with the timing of the European Championship. Therefore, they chose to hold another one after 2019, correcting their own hosting time to even years.

In just six years, the Copa America has been contested for four times. Frequent matches not only fail to broaden the reputation of the Copa America, but also cause serious aesthetic fatigue among fans. Moreover, holding matches like this constantly makes the players feel very tired, after all, they have been constantly switching between league and cup matches, and there is not much rest time at all. The reason why the Copa America has become so disorganized and its influence continues to decline is deeply rooted.

The influence of the league has declined, and the American market is no longer popular

Looking back, the Copa Libertadores in South America was a highly anticipated league worldwide, with a strong competitive influence compared to the Champions League. Especially the match between Boca Juniors and River Plate, there has always been a lack of attention and hot topics. Moreover, major leagues in the Americas have produced many players who later galloped in Europe.

But in recent years, the American league has been struggling in terms of star making, and many teams have found it very difficult to maintain basic operations. Moreover, many players from the Americas have already started training in European powerhouses at a very young age, which has led to a serious generational gap in the American league. Without the support of football stars, the league naturally lacks attention, and advertising, broadcasting, and other aspects cannot make money, all of which have led to a crisis in the operation of football throughout the Americas.

Competition is the best way to earn profits

It is precisely because the leagues and football associations of various countries lack financial support that they must find ways to make money. Hosting large-scale matches is clearly the best choice, as the Copa America, despite declining attention, can at least bring players like Messi and Neymar back to play.
