Peru banks Copa America profits (30 July 2004)
Peru, the country in which the year’s premier South American soccer tournament was staged, the Copa America, has just announced profits of close to US$2million.
Tournament organisers say ticket sales for the matches alone generated close to $4.7million, all venues having reported being at least 70% full for each game.
The Copa America was eventually won by Brazil, in a penalty shoot out against Argentina, after host nation Peru exited the tournament at the quarter-final stage.
