The CONMEBOL Copa America has incredible power, it can make everything move, it makes emotions vibrate and hearts soar.
It makes the flags fly, the nets shake, the stands and the stadiums tremble. Its history fills the entire continent with pride, and that our football throbs with one force.
This competition has the power to bring out our best version to define what we are as South Americans: football, history, joy, and passion.
