Colombia will host the final of the 2020 Copa America they're jointly hosting with Argentina, President Ivan Duque announced.
The South American competition between national teams has never before been hosted by two countries. The final will be played in the Metropolitano stadium in the Caribbean port city of Barranquilla, the local mayor Alejandro Char said, promising a "gala."
He said CONMEBOL president Alejandro Dominguez had informed him of the "great news."
The governing body had decided in April to award hosting rights to the two countries at opposite ends of the continent. Colombia's football federation spoke of its "pride and joy" on its social media channels, promising "a memorable event."
