There are still seven months until the ball rolls again in a new edition of the Copa América, but the venues for the opening game and the grand final have already been decided. South American football’s highest body confirmed that the opening game is scheduled for Thursday, June 20, 2024 and will take place in the Mercedes-Benz Stadium from Atlanta. Be careful, this venue can accommodate more than 71,000 spectators and is one of the most popular in the United States. Major events such as Super Bowl LIII and the College Football Playoff National Championship in 2018 take place here.
However, Conmebol also announced details of the grand final, which will be played on Sunday, July 14, 2024, at the Hard Rock Stadium in Miami, Florida. Unlike the stage where the inauguration will take place, this stage can accommodate more than 65,300 fans. Of course, being a modern entertainment destination, it has been able to become a prominent venue for international events such as Super Bowl LIV and Super Bowl LIV World Championship from FIFA 2026.
“It will be a month of pure football that will unite the entire American continent. Conmebol brings this Copa América to the United States and will make the entire continent vibrate and live its passion. A single continent, a cup, a dream that grows to conquer the planet with its inexhaustible source of talent. See you in the best Copa América ever,” said Conmebol boss Alejandro Domínguez.
It should be noted that the ten South American teams are automatically qualified, in addition to six of the eight participating Concacaf countries: Honduras, Mexico, United States, Panama, Costa Rica, Jamaica, Canada and Trinidad and Tobago.
