Spain handed chance to conquer South America
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.The European and world champions may compete for a new title this summer: the Copa America. Spain have been invited to play in this summer's tournament in Argentina.
The South American championship includes two invitational teams from outside the region. Japan were going to play but withdrew after last month's earthquake. The organisers have asked Spain to fill their place.
After the European Championships, the Confederations Cup and the World Cup this would be Spain's fourth straight summer of football should they accept. Real Madrid and Barcelona may not be keen. To say nothing of Arsenal's Arsène Wenger.
