How often is the Copa America held, and why did it become a yearly event held once every few years? It was organized infrequently any year Messi won it.
The Copa America is an important national intercontinental tournament in which the member countries of the South American Football Confederation (CONCACAF) participate! The first Copa America was successfully held in Argentina on the initiative of Argentine President Yrigoyen in 1916, on the occasion of the 100th anniversary of the country's independence! As a result, the Copa America has become one of the oldest intercontinental tournaments in South America and the world!
It's a capricious time to hold it to begin with!
Since the birth of the America's Cup, the timing of the tournament has been arbitrary! Since 1916, the first 11 editions of the America's Cup have been held once a year (minus a 2-year gap between the second and third editions)! In 1928, due to the participation of Argentina and Uruguay in the Olympic Games, the Copa America was postponed to 1929! The war between Paraguay and Bolivia over the Gran Chago region led to the suspension of the Cup for 5 editions, which resumed in 1935! After that, the Copa América was no longer held at a fixed time, and was often changed for economic or political reasons! This "chaos" lasted until 1987, when the Copa América was fixed at two-year intervals! In 2001, the Confederation of South American Football (CONCACAF) changed the organization of the Copa América to once every three years! And from 2007, the Copa America began to follow the other competitions (World Cup, UEFA Cup, etc.) will be held once every four years!
During this period, two Copa América tournaments were held in one year, in 1959, with Argentina and Uruguay winning the championships! And it's amazing that not a single Copa America tournament was held between 1967-1975!
To this day, the timing of the America's Cup remains arbitrary"
Since 2007, the America's Cup has been organized on a four-year basis! Originally such a change was still generally acceptable to fans! First of all, the 4-year interval with the World Cup, the European Cup and other major tournaments in line with the interval time, the fans for the tournament held in time to have predictability! Secondly, as one of the football world's longest history of soccer events, with the World Cup, the European Cup and other major events consistent interval time, so that the America's Cup in the football world in a higher status, more important!
However, after the 2015 Copa America, in 2016, CONCACAF held back to back" Copa America tournaments! At the time, there were a lot of fans who didn't understand this! Later, I realized that 2016 was the centennial of the Copa America! In this Cup, Messi led Argentina following 14 years after the World Cup halting final, actually in 15, 16 two consecutive years in the final of the Copa America lost to the intelligence, second runner-up!
The 2016 Copa America, as a cup of commemorative significance, is not counted in the normal organization of the time! 2019, four years later, the Copa America again ignited the fire! But just as fans are focusing on Messi, want to see whether he can lead the team to win the championship, everyone was surprised to find that in 2020, will once again be held back to back "Copa America! Four Copa America's in six years! The intercontinental competition was hard to be played as a house! No wonder some fans chortle: the South American Football Federation for Messi can get the Copa America is really hard work! In the future, the Copa America seems to be called the 'Weekly Cup'."
I don't know if CONCACAF has the internet to see the fans' banter! However, such a capricious timing of the event would really damage the reputation, status and importance of the Copa America in international football! If Messi were to win it within these two years, such a tournament championship, I think not only would it not set off Messi's greatness, but it would lower Messi's historical status!
Do you think winning the tournament, which has been flirted with as the "Cup of the Week", will elevate Messi's place in history?
The right way, Messi has not won the Intercontinental Cup, year after year, until you win the championship for this, and then change to four years. The other way around, the midget Messi can't win it anyway, so we'll do it every year and let the fans laugh at you. How to do all right, anyway, midgets can not win the championship, because the South American Football Federation corruption "will not let the midgets West won the championship. Curse, such as the big Luo VS Champions League, is no chance!
I don't think it's been four times in five years in the last 30 years, has it?
Once every 2 years in the very early days, and just 2 times in five years.
Now it's once every four years, and with the addition of a Centennial America's Cup to add one more time, it's only three times in five years.
To summarize, the questioner is poor in both intelligence and diligence.
The America's Cup is held every four years. It has traditionally been held every two years, but the interval has often changed, with the tournament being held every four years from 2020 onwards. The Copa América is the most important national soccer tournament in the world for member countries of the South American Football Confederation (CONCACAF), and is the oldest national soccer tournament in the world, having been formerly known as the South American Football Championship.

Well, about the America's Cup a few years a session? And why become a year a few years organized once the problem ends here, I hope to be able to solve your problem ah!
