Around the turn of the century, several countries had played each other in one competition or the other, but it wasn’t till 1916 that the first officially recognized regional tournament took place in Argentina, called the ‘Campeonato Sudamericano de Football.’ This would later be recognized as the first Copa America ever to take place.
