The draw for next summer’s Copa America has placed tournament host United States in a group with the competition’s joint all-time champion Uruguay, while fellow Concacaf invitee Mexico will face Ecuador.
Current titleholder and defending champion Argentina – tied with Uruguay for the most Copa titles of all time – is set for a clash against two-time winner Peru in the group stage, and in the fourth group, nine-time winner Brazil will take on 2021 third-place finisher Colombia.
CONMEBOL’s Copa America will have 16 teams, including six Concacaf invitees: 2023-24 Nations League semifinalist Mexico, the U.S., Jamaica and Panama, as well as the two winners of play-in games (Canada vs. Trinidad and Tobago, Costa Rica vs. Honduras) that will be held March 23.
The Copa America comprises a group stage that runs from June 20 to July 2, quarterfinals July 4-6, semifinals July 9-10, a third-place match July 13 and the final July 14.
The opening game will be June 20 at Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta between Argentina and the winner of Canada vs. Trinidad and Tobago.
