In its 48th edi�on of the oldest na�onal team tournament in the world , the CONMEBOL Copa América 2024™ star�ng on June 20 , 2024 at the Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta and ending on July 14 at the Hard Rock Stadium in Miami .
Considering the massive success of the Copa América Centenario on US soil in 2016 , and the opportunity of having a good host rehearsal for World Cup 2026 , CONMEBOL and CONCACAF decided to run it back eight years later , with the South American confedera�on ’ s 10 member na�ons again joined by six qualifiers from North America . MLS stadium in Atlanta , Aus�n , Charlo�e , Kansas City and Orlando are among the venues , with the championship final set for Miami ’ s Hard Rock Stadium .
The USMNT have already booked their place in Copa América by virtue of their Concacaf Na�ons League quarterfinals victory over Trinidad and Tobago in November , and were allo�ed into Group C along with Uruguay , Panama and Bolivia at the tournament draw in December 2023 .
Trinidad & Tobago , Canada , Costa Rica and Honduras disputed the final two spots in two play-in matches in Frisco , Texas on March 23 .
Given their automa�c-qualifica�on status as cohosts of the 2026 World Cup , Copa América represents a vital opportunity for Canada , Mexico and the United States to test themselves during this cycle .
The US Men ' s Na�onal Team ( USMNT ) entered Copa América 2024 with high hopes and a clear objec�ve : finish in the top two of their group to secure a place in the quarterfinals . The world class tournament hosted across 14 venues in the United States , presented a golden opportunity for the US to test themselves ahead of the 2026 World Cup . The dream began with promise but ul�mately ended in disappointment .
