Brazil’s 2016 Copa America preparation has been far from ideal. The Selecao had to change their training venue just days before the start of the tournament following a deadly shooting in Los Angeles.
University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA), where Dunga’s team had planned to use for training purposes, was rocked by a deadly shooting incident that killed two people.
With safety concerns taking immediate priority, the Brazilian Football Confederation (CBF) confirmed that their evening training session would take place at the StubHub Centre.
The players were at their hotel when the shooting occurred.
