Brazil's obstacles to organizing the Copa América 2:10
(CNN Spanish) -
The Copa América is taking shape and the participating teams are confirming the teams that will participate in a competition that Uruguay and Argentina have historically dominated.
La Celeste has won 15 times, while Argentina has won 14 times.
But Brazil has started to get closer because it has lifted the trophy in 6 of the last 13 editions.

URUGUAY
Uruguay confirmed a squad with 26 players.
The team led by Óscar Washington Tabárez will be able to count on Edinson Cavani, who was sent off the last double date of the South American tie.
The Manchester United footballer, Luis Suárez and Federico Valverde are the figures of a team that will arrive in Brazil where he already knew how to be champion.
Only five of those called up play in local football.
Sergio Rochet, Camilo Candido and Brian Ocampo belong to Nacional, while Facundo Torres and Giovanni González are part of Peñarol.
