Mexico


No guest at CONMEBOL Copa América™ has ever performed as well as Mexico.

It all starts in Houston, Texas at NGR Stadium for Mexico as they take on CONCACAF rival Jamaica on June 22. How far can this new generation of Mexican players go this time around?



Ecuador


It’s an exciting time for Ecuadorian football. One of the two South American countries that will be looking to win its first CONMEBOL Copa América™ trophy has plenty of reasons to hope this may be their year. La Tri’s latest group of youngsters have taken Europe by storm, they look to do the same in the United States during this tournament. Their first match is on June 21 at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, California against Venezuela.

Panama


Los Canaleros are making their second ever appearance in CONMEBOL Copa América and should feel right at home with many of their best players playing in Major League Soccer in the United States.

Costa Rica is first up, with Brazil taking the pitch against Los Ticos on June 24 at SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, California.



Colombia


No team is entering CONMEBOL Copa América 2024™ in better form than Colombia.

Paraguay


A mix of veterans and exciting youngsters make up La Albirroja’s roster. The two time champions of CONMEBOL Copa América enter the 2024 ready to make some noise in a tough Group D. Player’s such as Julio Enciso have already left an impression on Premier League fans while Miguel Almirón returns to the country where he became a star.
