UNITED STATES of AMERICA
COPA AMERICA 2024
The 2024 Copa América will be the 48th edition of the Copa América, the quadrennial international men's soccer championship organized by South America's soccer ruling body CONMEBOL. The tournament will be held in the United States and co-organized by CONCACAF. The United States will host the tournament for the second time, having hosted the Copa América Centenario in 2016. The tournament will be held from June 20 to July 14, 2024, and the winner will later compete in the 2025 CONMEBOL–UEFA Cup of Champions against the UEFA Euro 2024 winner. Argentina is the defending champion. The final will be played on July 14, 2024, at Hard Rock Stadium in Miami Gardens, Florida.
The 2024 Copa América had been expected to be hosted by Ecuador due to CONMEBOL's host rotation order. However, the country declined to host the tournament. Peru and the United States had both expressed interest in organizing the tournament.
On January 27, 2023, it was announced that as part of CONCACAF and CONMEBOL's new strategic partnership, the United States would host the tournament with six CONCACAF guest teams qualifying through the 2023–24 CONCACAF Nations League. The tournament also acts as a prelude to the 2026 FIFA World Cup, of which the United States is a joint host along with Canada and Mexico.[
