Flying into South America is very dangerous for these two countries.
The Coma America was scheduled to develop last year, but was postponed due to the coronavirus pandemic, however, is scheduled to be organised with the presence of fans.
Gonzalo Belloso, general secretary of the CONMEBOL (South American Conference), stressed that the two representatives who would attend the tournament at the invitation will not travel to Colombia and Argentina (organization countries).
Qatar and Australia are hardly replaced by other teams, and even the secretary - general did not mention it as opportunities.
One team was involved in Group A, the other in Group B. In view of the problems associated with coronavirus, the tour will most likely develop by 10 and not 12 teams.
The cover America was played for the last time in 2019 and won by Brazil, which defeated Peru in the grand final.
In the two previous editions, Chile triumphed, defeating the Argentina of Leo Mess.
For Messin, the 2021 Copa America may be the last chance to win this trophy, since the next edition will be held in 2024
