Argentina and Colombia are poised to co-host the 2020 Copa America after South America's ruling body CONMEBOL once again ruled out a US proposal to host the tournament.

CONMEBOL's ruling council met in Miami on Wednesday to discuss the issue ahead of a FIFA Council meeting in the city on Friday.

"Argentina and Colombia are shaping up as joint venues of the Copa America-2020," CONMEBOL said after rejecting the US offer to host the tournament.

CONMEBOL, which comprises the 10 member federations in South America, said in a statement it had accepted "the nomination of Argentina and Colombia as joint venues for the 2020 edition of the Copa America."
CONMEBOL noted that the co-hosting was "subject to the presentation of a detailed proposal by both member associations on the structure and organization of the tournament."
