The road to the Copa America final is now set. The tournament will take place between June 20 and July 14 across 14 American cities as everyone tries their best to stop Argentina from winning the tournament back to back. Concacaf nations have been invited for the first time since 2016 with six joining the 10 CONMEBOL nations for what will be quite a competitive tournament. With the United States being drawn with Uruguay, they could be on course for a clash to see who can avoid Brazil in the knockout stages but teams can’t get ahead of themselves as nothing can be taken for granted in a knockout tournament.
None of the groups are particularly easy as adding Concacaf into the mix does create more balance since these nations had to qualify via Nations Leauge. Let’s take a look at the full groups and schedule for the tournament:
