- The last Quarterfinal match will be between two of the three most successful teams in the tournament's history.
- The winner will face Colombia or Panama in the Semifinals.
Two of the teams that played in the first edition of CONMEBOL Copa América™ back in 1916 will face each other this Saturday, July 6, 2024, for a place among the final four in the 48th edition of the tournament.
Uruguay (15 titles, the most alongside Argentina) arrives at this match after finishing first in Group D: Marcelo Bielsa's team won all three matches, scoring 9 goals - the most in the tournament - and conceding only one. Darwin Núñez and Maximiliano Araújo each scored twice.
For Brazil (9 titles, only behind Uruguay and Argentina), the Group Stage was a bit more complicated: they drew in their debut against Costa Rica, beat Paraguay, and concluded the qualification with a draw against Colombia. Vinícius Júnior, the team's top scorer with two goals, is suspended for this match due to yellow card accumulation. His replacement could be Endrick, one of the great promises of the Seleção.
Allegiant Stadium is ready to host two great sides in the history of CONMEBOL who want to continue making history in the United States.
