“The venues will be announced shortly, as well as the competition calendar,” added the federation.
In 2016, the United States hosted the Copa América for the first time, in the edition that marked the centenary of the tournament, in a partnership between CONMEBOL and CONCACAF. On that occasion, Chile took the trophy.
The current champion is Argentina, which in 2021 defeated Brazil 1-0 in the grand final, played at Maracanã.
