*Unique* COPA AMERICA BRAZIL 1989 Winner's Golden BIG Medal WITH BOX  issued to BRAZIL Champion Team - ROMARIO / BEBETO

Provenance: Former CONMEBOL secretary.

The Copa América 1989 football tournament was hosted by Brazil, from 1 to 16 July. All ten CONMEBOL member nations participated.

Brazil won their fourth Copa América, and first since 1949, by beating Uruguay 1–0 in the final match at the Estádio do Maracanã. This achievement ended a 19-year streak without official titles for the Brazilians. The last one had been in the 1970 World Cup. The final match between Brazil and Uruguay on Maracanã Stadium also marks exactly 39 years, on another 16 July since the FIFA World Cup 1950 Final.


The top scorer was Brazilian Bebeto. He scored six times, including three in the final group stage.

 

Medal details: Original with box! MEDAL size is 8cm diameter!
