Google highlights 100th year of Copa America with Doodle

WASHINGTON, June 3 (UPI) -- Google is celebrating the first day of Copa America Centenario, the hundredth year of the games and the first time they are being held in the United States with a new Doodle.

The Doodle shows a blue team and a red team of athletes running toward a soccer ball in the center of the image. Over the soccer ball, the number "100" is drawn.

Friday marks the beginning of the hundredth edition of the longest-running soccer tournament in the Americas and will take place at Levi's Stadium in Santa Clara, Calif. "We'll be listening for the roar of the crowd!" Google said, as their headquarters is "right around the corner."

This year, Copa America hosts a traveling soccer tournament with 16 teams and 32 matches across 10 cities in the United States including Chicago, Ill.; East Rutherford, N.J.; Pasadena, Calif.; Glendale, Ariz.; Foxborough, Mass.; Houston, Texas; Orlando, Fla.; Philadelphia, Penn.; and Seattle, Wash.

The tournament begins with Team USA facing off with Team Colombia Friday at 9:30 p.m. PT.
