Qatar at the Copa América explained

The Copa América is South America's major tournament in senior men's football and determines the continental champion. Until 1967, the tournament was known as South American Championship. It is the oldest continental championship in the world.

Qatar is not member of the South American football confederation CONMEBOL. But because CONMEBOL only has ten member associations, guest nations have been invited since 1993.
