The path to the 2024 Copa America final has already been decided. The competition will take place between June 20 and July 14 in 14 American cities, as everyone tries to do their best to stop Argentina from winning the crown again.
“Concacaf” national teams have been invited for the first time since 2016 in this competition. 6 such will join the 10 CONMEBOL national teams for what will be a very competitive tournament. Two representatives of “Concacaf” have yet to be determined.
The USA will clash with Uruguay in the group to see who can avoid Brazil in the knockout stages, but nothing can be taken for granted in a knockout tournament.
None of the groups are particularly easy, as the addition of Concacaf creates more balance, as these national teams had to qualify through the Nations League. Let’s see the complete groups and schedules of the 2024 Copa America:
Group A: Argentina, Peru, Chile, Canada or Trinidad & Tobago
Group B: Mexico, Ecuador, Venezuela, Jamaica
Group C: USA, Uruguay, Panama, Bolivia
Group D: Brazil, Colombia, Paraguay, Costa Rica or Honduras
