Copa America 2001 Champions, matches, fact and achievements

Copa America 2001 was the 40th edition of the tournament. It was held in Colombia from July 11 to July 29, 2001. Brazil, the two-time defending champions, were eliminated from the tournament by Honduras after a 0–2 defeat in the quarter-final. Colombia won the tournament for the 1st time without conceding a goal.
There is no separate qualifying process for the final tournament. CONMEBOL’s ten South American countries automatically participate, along with two invited countries, making a total of twelve teams. Originally, Mexico and CONCACAF Champions Canada were invited.
Before the tournament, CONMEBOL authorities held three meetings due to concerns about potential security issues in Colombia. On 1 July, they announced the cancellation of the tournament. Venezuela offered to host the competition, but on 6 July, CONMEBOL decided to reinstate the plans for Colombia, and the tournament proceeded as scheduled.
