AB InBev, the world’s leading brewer, and CONMEBOL (Confederación Sudamericana de Fútbol), the governing body of South American football, will elevate their partnership with Michelob Ultra as the Official Global Beer Sponsor of Copa América USA 2024™. This renewed agreement deepens the company’s longstanding commitment to fans around the globe through the world’s most popular sporting events.

I look forward to the energy the United States fans will bring to the competition and the memorable experiences and atmosphere Michelob Ultra will help create for football teams, players and fans alike.”

The United States will host CONMEBOL Copa América in June and July 2024, a setting which only happens every four years connecting the continent and expanding the tournament to even more fans of the sport.

About CONMEBOL

The Confederación Sudamericana de Fútbol, better known as CONMEBOL (which comes from the acronym used in cable releases: Confederación Sudamericana de Fútbol), is the confederation of national football associations (federations) of South America. Founded on July 9, 1916 in Buenos Aires, it is the first Confederation in the world, established almost 40 years before the next ones to be formed. CONMEBOL originated from a tournament between countries of the South American continent. The first Copa América was held in 1916 in Buenos Aires in celebration of the hundred years of Argentina's independence. This was the beginning of the institution, originally composed of the associations of Argentina, Brazil, Chile and Uruguay. Later on, the other South American associations joined CONMEBOL: Paraguay (1921), Peru (1925), Bolivia (1926), Ecuador (1927), Colombia (1936) and Venezuela (1953). It is the only soccer confederation in which all its associations are also members of FIFA and the International Olympic Committee (IOC). Its ten member National Associations are the pride of CONMEBOL.
