(Reuters) - Hosts Brazil will open the Copa America with a game against Venezuela in the capital Brasilia while the final will be played at Rio de Janeiro's Maracana stadium, the South American Football Confederation (CONMEBOL) said on Wednesday.

The tournament, held over from last year due to the COVID-19 pandemic, was shifted to Brazil on Monday after original co-hosts Argentina and Colombia were replaced at the last minute.
