One of the biggest football tournaments, the Copa America 2024 is just a few weeks away. Copa America started in 1916, is the oldest continental tournament in the world, and has determined the champions of South America over the years. Last year, CONCACAF, the football governing body of North America, combined with CONMEBOL, to host the tournament together.
Now, the 48th edition of the tournament will have 16 teams, including six from North America. Argentina are the defending Copa America champion and will start their title defence with their opening game against Canada on June 21. The tournament this time will be held in the USA from the 21st of June to the 15th of July 2024. The opening match will be played in Atlanta while the final will be played in Miami.
16 qualified teams have been divided into four groups and the final list or squad list of up to 26 players per national team must be submitted to CONMEBOL by 12 June 2024. The representatives of CONMEBOL, the organizer of the tournament, agreed on the decision at the FIFA Congress in Bangkok, Thailand, treading the path of squad expansion in the Championship. Here is everything you need to know ahead of the Copa America 2024.
