Brazil
have been drawn in Group C alongside Colombia, Peru and Venezuela for
the 2015 Copa América, which is held in Chile in June and July.
The
Seleção, who have won the tournament eight times, start their campaign
against Peru at Estadio Municipal Germán Becker in Temuco on 14th June.
They
then face Colombia in Santiago’s Estadio Monumental three days later,
before returning to Temuco to meet Venezuela on 21st June.
To
be guaranteed a spot in the knock-out stages, Brazil need to finish in
the top two, through the two best third placed teams will also progress.
For
Dunga’s side, the Copa América offers a first chance for redemption
after the disappointing end to this summer’s FIFA World Cup, while four
years ago in Argentina, they also under performed with a quarter-final
exit to eventual runners up Paraguay on penalties.
Despite
their mixed recent form in competitive tournaments however, Dunga’s
last spell in charge of Brazil yielded victory at the 2007 Copa América,
where they beat Argentina 3-0 in the final.
To
have a chance to avenge that defeat, the Albiceleste will have to
overcome holders Uruguay, as well as Paraguay and Jamaica in Group B,
while hosts Chile are up against Mexico, Ecuador and Bolivia in Group A.
