South America Region Copa is one of America’s most popular and prestigious football events scheduled for their 46th edition because Brazil will host the upcoming competition. The upcoming Copa América Brazil is playing in six stadiums in five cities of Brazil, from 14 June to 7 July, in which recently the FIFA World Cup has also been hosted.



Qatar is host to the 2022 FIFA World Cup and the country's Qatar Airways is one of the main sponsors of South American Football Confederation (CONMEBOL). The Gulf States and Japan have already accepted the invitation to participate in 2019 Copa America in Brazil.

Another promising, China was invited to Brazil in 2019 as a major football market, but declined. The Chinese Football Association (CFA) said that he wants the national team to focus on the 2022 FIFA World Cup Asian qualifiers.

Although the CFA has not accepted or rejected this year's invitation, it is very unlikely that the answer will be yes. Currently, China is at No. 74 in FIFA's world ranking, number 63 is lower than Bolivia, which is already ranked the lowest among all South American countries. On the contrary, Qatar is at number 55. This means that China can become the biggest source of this phenomenon and can face many disastrous losses.

The second reason CFA is hesitant is the FIFA world ranking points. The recent disappointing performance of the national team of the country has already put China's preference position in the World Cup qualifier in jeopardy. As Iraq is holding fast, China can not lose a lot of games for the future.

If China does not go to Argentina (or Colombia), then there are potential candidates for travel in South Korea or Iceland.
