- Exciting match between teams managed by Ricardo Gareca and Jorge Fossati.
- Completes the first matchday of Group A.
This June 21, at AT&T Stadium in Arlington (Texas), starting at 7 PM local time, Peru and Chile will have their highly-anticipated debut at the world's oldest national team tournament.
Both teams are experiencing new coaching cycles, as both Gareca and Fossati started coaching this year, and 2024 CONMEBOL Copa América™ will be their first major test.
The Peruvian team arrives undefeated this year: in the March window, they achieved victories against Nicaragua (2-0) and the Dominican Republic (4-1); in June, they drew 0-0 with Paraguay and won 1-0 against El Salvador.
On the other hand, Chile returns to the United States with the hope of finding success again in this land where they won their last CONMEBOL Copa América™. With Gareca's arrival, several veterans like Bravo, Isla, and Vargas have become key players again.
In 2024, under Gareca's leadership, Chile defeated Albania 3-0, narrowly lost 3-2 to France (the last World Cup runner-up), and beat Paraguay 3-0.
This will be the first time Tigre faces Peru, a team where he was a true leader and achieved great results.
