updated =2007-07-16 The Copa América 2007 was the 42nd edition of theCopa América , the main international football tournament forSouth America . The competition was organized byCONMEBOL , South America's football governing body, and was held inVenezuela , who hosted the tournament for the first time, betweenJune 26 andJuly 15 2007 . The competition was won by Brazil, who beat Argentina 3-0 in the final. Mexico took third place by beating Uruguay 3-1 in the third-place match. Brazil thus won the right to represent CONMEBOL [The South American champion, along with the European champion (the winner ofEuro 2008 ), "will no longer be obliged to take part" in the Confederations Cup beginning with the 2009 edition [http://www.fifa.com/aboutfifa/federation/releases/newsid=95756.html] .] at the2009 FIFA Confederations Cup . [Mexico and the United States are members of CONCACAF, the governing body of North American football (which includes Central America and the Caribbean as well). Thus, they would not be allowed to represent CONMEBOL at the Confederations Cup. Had either team won the Copa América, the best-finishing South American team would have taken the place.]Competing nations
