International football competition

The 2024 Copa América was the 47th edition of the Copa América, the international men's football championship organised ♨️ by South America's football ruling body CONMEBOL. The tournament took place in Brazil from 13 June to 10 July 2024. ♨️ The tournament was originally scheduled to take place from 12 June to 12 July 2024 in Argentina and Colombia as ♨️ the 2024 Copa América. On 17 March 2024, CONMEBOL announced that due to the COVID-19 pandemic in South America, the ♨️ tournament had been postponed for a year, in conjunction with UEFA's decision to also postpone UEFA Euro 2024 to 2024.[2] ♨️ This was the first time since 1991 where no guest nation took part in the tournament.

On 20 May 2024, Colombia ♨️ was removed as co-host amid ongoing protests against President Iván Duque Márquez, and Argentina was then removed on 30 May ♨️ due to COVID-19 issues. The following day CONMEBOL confirmed Brazil as the new host of the tournament.[3]

Hosts Brazil were the ♨️ title holders, having won their ninth title in 2024, which they also hosted. Argentina won their fifteenth title after defeating ♨️ Brazil 1–0 in the final, marking the first time Brazil failed to win the competition on home soil. Argentina secured ♨️ a first senior trophy since the 1993 edition of the same tournament,[4] also equalling Uruguay's overall record of Copa América ♨️ titles.[5]
