2024 Copa América Group C

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Group C is one of four groups in the first stage of the 2024 edition of Copa América, the premier soccer tournament for men's national teams representing countries in South America organized by CONMEBOL. The tournament also includes invited teams from the CONCACAF region, which comprises North, Central America and the Caribbean, that qualified via the 2023–24 CONCACAF Nations League.[1]

The group is made up of the hosts United States from CONCACAF, Uruguay from CONMEBOL, Panama from CONCACAF, and Bolivia from CONMEBOL.[2] The draw for the groups was conducted on December 7, 2023, with the United States being previously seeded into the group as head.[3] Group C's matches will take place from June 23 to July 1 at six venues in six U.S. cities.[4]

The top two teams, following a round-robin of three matches per team, will advance to the quarter-finals.
