The 2024 Copa América marked the 48th edition of the tournament, held in the United States from June 20 to July 14, 2024, and co-organized with CONCACAF. Originally slated for Ecuador, the US stepped in as host in January 2023 as part of a new strategic partnership between the two confederations, featuring 16 teams (10 from CONMEBOL and 6 CONCACAF qualifiers). The group stage draw took place on December 7, 2023, in Miami, with defending champions Argentina, Mexico, the United States, and Brazil seeded as the top teams in their respective groups. In a thrilling final at Hard Rock Stadium in Miami Gardens, Argentina secured a record-breaking 16th title by defeating Colombia 1–0 after extra time on July 14, 2024. Notably, squad sizes were expanded to 26 players, and the event served as a major prelude to the 2026 FIFA World Cup, which the US will co-host.
