U.S. Soccer invites South American national teams for international tournament in 2020

U.S. soccer officials were so happy hosting Lionel Messi and the South American national teams three years ago, they want to do it again next summer.

In what would be a reprise of the 2016 Copa America Centenario, a wildly successful international tournament staged at 10 American venues, U.S. Soccer Federation President Carlos Cordeiro has extended invitations to the 10 members of the South American confederation to return in 2020.

The news was first reported by the New York Times and later confirmed by The Washington Post.

The Chicago-based USSF said it did not want to comment right away.
