The Copa America will be hosted by CONMEBOL and Concacaf in partnership for the first time since 2016. At the time, Chile beat Argentina, but a lot has changed since then. La Roja has struggled recently but is now hoping for a revival under proven coach Ricardo Gareca, who got Peru to the 2018 World Cup. Argentina is the current Copa America champion and also won the 2022 World Cup.
It’s an opportunity for the United States, Canada and Mexico to prepare for the joint 2026 World Cup, as well as an opportunity for U.S. fans to see the best players in the world.
The host trio will not be taking part in the World Cup qualifiers due to the World Cup, so this tournament will show that there is still room for improvement.
