The iconic mascots of the Copa America

Argentina decided to build the mascot of the tournament around a special person in 1987. Gardelito was the name of the mascot. It was a manly little doll that represented the famous tango singer, Carlos Gardel, whereas, after that, the tournament was primarily based on animals, like a nine-banded armadillo for the 1997 edition in Bolivia.

However, the mascot that continues to have a special place in the hearts of soccer fans is Guaky, a scarlet macaw bird from the 2007 edition in Venezuela. It is because a student created the mascot. The country invited 4,50,000 children and adolescents to show their ideas and a 15-year-old Jhoyling Zabaleta made the design. The name was chosen via a vote.
