The '''2001 Copa América''' was held in Colombia, from 11 to 29 July. It was organised by [[CONMEBOL]], South America's football governing body. Colombia won the tournament for the 1st time without conceding a goal.<ref>{{Cite news|url=https://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/football/1463962.stm|title=Colombia celebrate double triumph|date=30 July 2001|access-date=25 May 2019|language=en-GB}}</ref>

[[Brazil national football team|Brazil]] were the two-time defending champions, but they were knocked out of the tournament by [[Honduras national football team|Honduras]] after suffering a 0–2 defeat in the quarter-final.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.theguardian.com/football/2001/jul/24/newsstory.sport4|title=Honduras surprise brittle Brazil {{!}} Football {{!}} The Guardian|website=amp.theguardian.com|access-date=25 May 2019}}</ref>

There is no qualifying for the final tournament. CONMEBOL's ten South American countries participate, along with two more invited countries, making a total of twelve teams competing in the tournament. Originally, [[Mexico national football team|Mexico]] and [[CONCACAF]] [[2000 CONCACAF Gold Cup|Champions]] [[Canada men's national soccer team|Canada]] were invited.

Prior to the tournament, three meetings were held by CONMEBOL authorities who were concerned about potential security issues in Colombia. On 1 July they announced the cancellation of the tournament.<ref>{{cite news | last = Vickery | first = Tim | url = https://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/football/1463050.stm | title = Colombia seize first Copa crown | publisher = BBC | date = 30 July 2001 | access-date = 24 January 2008}}</ref><ref name=footballtimes>{{cite news |url=http://thesefootballtimes.co/2015/02/16/honduras-legendary-copa-america-odyssey/ |title= Honduras' Legendary Copa América Odyssey |author=Steven Scragg |publisher=These Football Times |date=16 February 2015 |access-date=9 July 2015}}</ref> Venezuela offered to host the competition, but on 6 July CONMEBOL decided to reinstate the plans for Colombia, and the tournament was held on schedule.

When the tournament was originally cancelled, [[Canada men's national soccer team|Canada]] disbanded its training camp and Canadian players returned to their club teams. The [[Canadian Soccer Association]] announced they would not be able to participate in the reinstated tournament. With only a few days' notice, [[Costa Rica national football team|Costa Rica]] (CONCACAF) accepted an invite to take Canada's spot in the tournament. The Costa Ricans advanced to the knockout stage, losing in the quarterfinals.

Complaining about the sudden reversal, and claiming that Argentine players had received death threats from terrorist groups, the [[Argentine Football Association]] decided to withdraw from the competition on 10 July, in spite of Colombian authorities proposing to implement additional protection measures.<ref name=footballtimes/> With the tournament starting the next day, [[Honduras national football team|Honduras]] (CONCACAF) were invited, arriving with barely enough players on 13 July in an airplane provided by the [[Colombian Air Force]], after the tournament had started and just a few hours before its first game. The Hondurans performed well through the tournament, finishing in third place.

Despite the pre-tournament concerns, there were no incidents of violence nor acts of assault towards any of the participating nations.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Colombia lifts the CONMEBOL Copa América™ trophy for the first time in 2001 |url=https://copaamerica.com/en/news/colombia-lifts-the-conmebol-copa-america-trophy-for-the-first-time-in-2001 |access-date=2025-07-15 |website=copaamerica.com}}</ref>

Shortly before the start of the tournament, two teams drawn into group C (Argentina and Canada) withdrew and were replaced by other invited teams ([[Costa Rica national football team|Costa Rica]] and [[Honduras national football team|Honduras]]). This didn't affect composition of other groups.
