Summary
The tournament was a special commemorative version of Copa América, not the 45th edition. It was organized as part of an agreement between CONMEBOL and CONCACAF and held outside the usual four-year cycle. The event featured an expanded field of sixteen teams, up from the usual twelve, including all ten teams from CONMEBOL and six from CONCACAF. Despite being an official Copa América event, the winner did not receive an invitation to the 2017 FIFA Confederations Cup due to the tournament’s commemorative nature. However, Chile, the eventual winners, had already qualified for the Confederations Cup through their victory in 2015.
Chile became the fourth nation to win at least two consecutive titles in CONMEBOL tournaments, following Uruguay, Argentina, and Brazil. Meanwhile, Argentina lost their third consecutive final in a major tournament, having previously lost to Germany in the 2014 World Cup and to Chile in the 2015 Copa América.
