Brazil will face World Cup quarter-final opponents Colombia at the 2015 Copa America after the pair were drawn together in the group stage.<\/p>\n

The pair will compete in Group C alongside Peru and Venezuela, while Argentina, holders Uruguay, Paraguay and Jamaica make up Group B.<\/p>\n

Group A consists of hosts Chile, Mexico, Ecuador and Bolivia.<\/p>\n

Twelve teams will be competing in the South American showpiece which begins in Santiago on Thursday, 11 June.<\/p>\n

Brazil reached the World Cup semi-final with a gripping 2-1 win against Colombia last summer.<\/p>\n

The match was notable for the injury sustained by tournament poster boy Neymar, which ruled him out of the last-four tie against Germany.<\/p>\n

Barcelona’s \u00a375m signing Luis Suarez will miss the Copa America after being suspended for nine competitive Uruguay matches for biting Italian defender Giorgio Chiellini during a World Cup match.<\/p>\n

World Cup finalists Argentina’s group features a rematch of the 2011 final between Uruguay and Paraguay, while Jamaica are one of two invited nations alongside Mexico.<\/p>\n

After the round-robin group phase, the top two teams from each section will qualify for the quarter-finals along with the two best third-placed teams, at which point the tournament takes on a standard knockout format before the final on 4 July.<\/p>\n
