The Copa America festival of football has been running for over a century and is now arguably one of the most competitive international tournaments in the game and is eagerly anticipated by millions.
The first competition came in 1916, 14 years before FIFA ran its first World Cup and decades before the first UEFA European Championships, and over the period of its history, the tournament has regularly evolved to help it become such a key event in the footballing calendar.
Only four nations competed in that first tournament, and by 1975, this had expanded to include ten South American countries. In 1993 the competition expanded beyond the borders of the continent, accepting two entrants from North and Central America, a move that has certainly aided the scope and scale of the tournament.
As one of the most popular footballing nations in the world, interest in Brazil tickets is unsurprisingly high and even more so when it comes to competitive matches at the Copa America.

Brazil vs Panama Copa America Tournament Record
Brazil have had a mixed record in the Copa America, with some periods of great success peppered with extended runs without silverware.
They first won the tournament in 1919 and picked up their third crown in 1949 before entering a very poor run of form.
Over the period of forty years, Seleção failed to win a single title in a run that saw them finish as runners-up on three occasions. That spell ended in 1989 when a side spearheaded by Bebeto and Romario clinched a Copa America by topping a final group without conceding a goal.
By far, the best run the Brazilian national team have had in the competition came between 1997 and 2007, when they won Copa America four times.
At Copa America 1997 and 1999 they won twelve games out of twelve and racked up 39 goals and conceded just five times. Their title win in 1997 came against hosts Bolivia and saw Denilson, Ronaldo, and Ze Roberto net in a 3-1 win in La Paz.
Two years later, they repeated the feat by beating Uruguay 3-0 in Asuncion, with FC Barcelona legend Rivaldo netting twice.
They secured two more titles in back-to-back wins in 2004 and 2007 before a period of relative failure that came to an end in 2019, with Brazil clinching their ninth title when they beat surprise package Peru in the final.
Panama have appeared in one previous Copa America campaign, and that came in 2016 at the centenary event hosted by the United States. Los Canaleros started superbly with a 2-1 win over Bolivia in Orlando before they were then thumped 5-0 by Argentina.
That meant they needed to get something from their final group game in order to progress, but they instead fell to a 4-2 defeat to eventual winners Chile in Philadelphia, with former Arsenal forward Alexis Sanchez netting twice.
Brazil vs Panama Head-to-Head
Brazil have never met Panama in a serious competitive match up to now, but they have faced them in a number of international friendlies and minor competitions.
In 2001 Luiz Felipe Scolari’s side ran out 5-0 winners, with Juninho and Roberto Carlos among the scorers. More recently, in 2019, Panama did well to draw 1-1 in a friendly in Porto, with West Ham midfielder Lucas Paqueta netting for Brazil.
