A letter signed by CONMEBOL President Alejandro Dominguez tells U.S. Soccer the months of June and July are already reserved for a Copa America edition. Dominguez also said in the letter revealed Thursday that top football body FIFA did not approve playing a Continental Cup in 2020. The CONMEBOL president said in the letter the accounting of the Copa Centenario played in the United States three years ago is still to be concluded.
