The 2021 edition of the prestigious Copa America football championship is in trouble due to rising Covid-19 cases. South American Football Confederation ruled out Argentina amid the rise of Covid-19 cases in the country. This is barely 2 weeks before the tournament was set to be played in Argentina from June 13 and July 10. Argentina is facing a surge of coronavirus infections, with strict lockdown measures imposed last weekend amid a seven-day average of 35,000 cases and 500 deaths. The confederation is working to find a new host soon but with Colombia earlier ruled out due to political reasons, it will be tough to find a host and move the carnival at such short notice.
