COPA AMERICA 2021 is finally upon us after having to wait a year for the South American football extravaganza to start.

A late change of hosts managed to save this summer's tournament, too, as Brazil stepped in to take the reins after Argentina and Colombia dropped out.

And this weekend, it all finally gets underway, starting with Brazil's clash against Venezuela.

The final will take place a month from now on July 11 at the Maracana Stadium in Rio de Janeiro.
