CONMEBOL confirmed on Friday that the United States is set to host the 2024 edition of the Copa America. This comes after an agreement was reached between the South American football federation and CONCACAF, of which the United States is a member.
The upcoming tournament will also adopt a 16-team format; six of which are set to be teams from the CONCACAF. This will see teams from North and Central America as well as the Caribbean compete to qualify for the tournament alongside 10 of their South American contemporaries.
On the women’s front, the 2024 CONCACAF W Gold Cup. will consist of four teams from COMNEBOL. This tournament with a new 12-team format will also be hosted by the United States.
The four COMNEBOL guests that will participate are those that performed best in the 2022 Women’s Copa America, namely champions Brazil, runner-up Colombia, third-placed Argentina, and fourth-placed Paraguay.
“CONMEBOL and Concacaf are united by historical and affective ties,” CONMEBOL president Alejandro Dominguez said following the announcement. “But above all, we are united by the passion, characteristic of all the Americas, for football and sports.”
