When the Copa América was originally announced, Colombia was set to open the tournament from the comforts of home, but now Los Cafeteros must head to Brazil to face Ecuador.
Colombia was removed as co-hosts of the Copa América due to civil unrest in the country as protestors continue to fill the streets. Not long after, Argentina withdrew due to the worsening situation of the pandemic as winter approaches in South America.
The tournament was then moved to Brazil, meaning Colombia's biggest advantage may have been taken away from the side. The last time, and only time, Colombia won the Copa América was 2001, when it hosted the tournament.
