The 2024 Copa América will be the 48th edition of the Copa América, the quadrennial international men's association football championship organized by South America's football ruling body CONMEBOL.[1] The tournament will be held in the United States and co-organized by CONCACAF.[2] The United States will host the tournament for the second time, having previously hosted the Copa América Centenario, held in 2016.

Argentina are the defending champions.[3]

Host country

The 2024 Copa América had been expected to be hosted by Ecuador due to CONMEBOL's host rotation order.[4] However, CONMEBOL president Alejandro Domínguez said Ecuador had been nominated but not yet chosen to organize the edition. In November 2022, the country declined to host the tournament.[5] Peru and the United States had both expressed interest in organizing the tournament.[1][6]

On January 27, 2023, it was announced that as part of CONCACAF and CONMEBOL's new strategic partnership, the United States would host the tournament with six CONCACAF guest teams qualifying through the 2023–24 CONCACAF Nations League.[2] The tournament also acts as a prelude to the 2026 FIFA World Cup, which the United States is a joint host along with Canada and Mexico.[7][8]

Teams

The tournament will include sixteen teams – ten from CONMEBOL and six from CONCACAF.[2] All ten CONMEBOL national teams are eligible to enter:

The six CONCACAF participants will qualify through the 2023–24 CONCACAF Nations League.[2] The teams will be the four League A quarter-final winners, and two play-in round winners between the four losing quarter-finalists.[9] The United States, despite being the hosts, will not qualify automatically.

CONMEBOL (10 teams) CONCACAF (6 teams)
