Host Brazil will open its Copa America 2021 campaign against Venezuela in the capital Brasilia on June 14 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.
It will be the second time in a row the tournament has been hosted in Brazil and comes despite concerns about the health situation in the country. Brazil reported 100,000 new COVID-19 cases on Wednesday, along with more than 2,500 deaths.
Rio is the only city where two stadiums will be used, with the other venues in Goiania and Cuiaba.
The semifinals are scheduled for the Nilton Santos Stadium on July 6 and the Mane Garrincha a day later.
The Maracana will host the final, the only match to be played there, on July 11.
