The 2024 Copa America brings North and South America together for a special edition of the CONMEBOL continental championship and celebrate the run-up to the 2026 World Cup in the United States.
Hosted in the USA, the Copa America features the usual 10 South American nations along with six North American guests who will challenge the established CONMEBOL powers for their own continental crown.
Lionel Messi and defending champions Argentina, as well as global football power Brazil, will be forced to navigate a 16-team competition that not only features all the usual challengers. Hosts USA and fellow CONCACAF powers Mexico hoped to provide a stiff challenge ahead of the 2026 FIFA tournament in their backyard, but fell short with group-stage elimination.
With the group-stage draw completed on December 7, the participants have long known their fate and are competing in the competition proper, as they aim to prove themselves against fellow global powerhouses.

The 16 teams in the 2024 Copa America were broken up into four pots of four teams each for the group-stage draw.
Pot 1 consisted of four pre-drawn teams broken up into the first position in each of the four groups. First were defending champions Argentina, who were pre-selected into Group A and given the opening match of the tournament. To round out Pot 1 was reigning CONCACAF Gold Cup champions Mexico, hosts and defending CONCACAF Nations League champions USA, and the next highest-ranked CONMEBOL side Brazil.
The remaining four pots were arranged by FIFA ranking, with the two CONCACAF playoff winners pre-drawn into Pot 4. Two teams’ spots come via the playoffs in March, with Canada beating Trinidad & Tobago and Costa Rica edging past Honduras.
