Copa America, the acclaimed South American men’s soccer championship, is returning to the United States in the summer of 2024 — two years before 11 U.S. cities help stage the sport’s biggest competition, the World Cup.
The 2024 Copa America will feature all 10 teams from Conmebol and six from 41-member Concacaf, the region for North and Central America and the Caribbean. Those six will qualify via the 2023-24 Concacaf Nations League, a regional competition.In the 2016 Copa America, the United States, Mexico, Costa Rica, Jamaica, Haiti and Panama were the Concacaf representatives. The U.S. team finished atop its group and defeated Ecuador in the quarterfinals before losing to Argentina, 4-0.
Without this opportunity, the United States would have had to put most efforts into the 2023 and 2025 Gold Cups and the Nations League, which involve teams only from Concacaf, a middling region.
