The U.S. is inching closer to hosting the 2016 Copa America Centenario, according to a source with knowledge of the negotiations. A final decision expected in the next three weeks.

The U.S. Soccer Federation's role as host has been uncertain ever since the Department of Justice indicted 14 soccer and marketing officials last May on corruption charges, with officials of CONCACAF, CONMEBOL, and South American sports marketing firm Datisa all implicated.

The USSF wanted assurances that the tournament would be conducted with complete transparency with regard to all contracts related to the competition.
