Socceroos set to play at Copa America 2020 - report

Australia and Qatar will reportedly be the two countries outside of South America invited to compete at Copa America 2020.

According to Brazilian outlet Globe Sports, CONMEBOL have settled on the two nations with Australia edging out China for the second spot.

Qatar, who will host the 2022 World Cup, is already set to compete at the 2019 edition of the tournament alongside Japan.

The decision to bring in sides outside of South America is seen as way for CONMEBOL to build stronger ties with the Asian Football Confederation.
