2024 Copa América

The 2024 Copa América will be the 48th edition of the Copa América, the quadrennial international men's association football championship organized by South America's football ruling body CONMEBOL.[1] The tournament will be held in the United States and co-organized by CONCACAF.[2] 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.[3]

Host selection

The 2024 Copa América had been expected to be hosted by Ecuador due to CONMEBOL's host rotation order.[5] However, CONMEBOL president Alejandro Domínguez said Ecuador had been nominated but not yet chosen to organize the edition. In November 2022, the country declined to host the tournament.[6] Peru and the United States had both expressed interest in organizing the tournament.[1][7]

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.[2] 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.[8][9]

Teams

The tournament will include sixteen teams – ten from CONMEBOL and six from CONCACAF.[2] All ten CONMEBOL national teams are eligible to enter.

The six CONCACAF participants will qualify through the 2023–24 CONCACAF Nations League.[2] The teams will be the four League A quarter-final winners, and two play-in round winners between the four losing quarter-finalists.[10] Unlike the Copa América Centenario, the United States will not qualify automatically despite being the hosts.

CONMEBOL (10 teams) CONCACAF (6 teams)
