#4 Oldest tournament
The World Cup might be the most celebrated tournament in the world, followed by the Euros, but when it comes to age, the Copa America is the oldest football tournament in the whole world.
While the World Cup was first played in 1930 and the European Championship was founded in 1960, the Copa America took birth in 1916 — exactly 100 years ago. It is for this reason that we are having another Copa America only a year after it was last held in 2015, a tournament which was won by the host nation – Chile.
