After nearly a month of riveting football action, Copa America 2024 is now in its swansong. So far, this year’s edition has been quite memorable, with its share of upsets and stellar performances. Before we start talking about how the tournament panned out, however, here are all the important details about the summit clash:
- Date: 14 July
- Venue: Miami, Florida, USA
The oldest continental football competition in existence, the Copa America is now in its 108th year. While this tournament, organised by CONMEBOL, is primarily for South American nations, teams from North America and Asia have also been invited to partake since the 1990s.
Argentina, the defending champions and winners of the Copa America for a record 15 times, have marched into the finals this year. Fans were also delighted to see Lionel Messi finally getting a goal to his name in Copa America 2024 as he slotted one past Canada’s Maxime Crépeau in the semi-final.
Barring the tense quarter-final against Ecuador that was decided by a penalty shoot-out, Argentina has won all of its matches in the Copa America this year. For the Argentine fans, their title defence looks strong, and they will be hoping for Angel Di Maria to retire with the glittering silverware in his hands.
Meanwhile, Brazil’s squad was heavily criticised by fans, experts and former players, including Ronaldinho. The nine-time champion failed to prove everyone wrong with a lacklustre performance in the Group Stage, eventually bowing out to Uruguay in the quarter-finals. Will this dent Vinicius Junior’s chance of winning the Ballon d’Or later this year? Only time will tell.
It is party time in Buenos Aires as Messi’s men dream of a 16th continental title for their nation. If they do win, Messi and his teammates will receive substantial monetary rewards alongside the glittering trophy. On that note, join us as we walk you through the Copa America 2024 prize money pool, the schedule (date) and venue (stadium) for the final, and where you can live stream the summit clash.
