The 2024 Copa America will be only the second ever to feature 16 teams in four groups, with six guest teams from CONCACAF participating in CONMEBOL’s continental championship.
Play continues with four games over June 23 and 24 to kick off Groups C and D, including the opening game for the host United States.
Here’s the second of Field Level Media’s two-part series previewing the action from what promises to be a memorable event.

The favourite: While the USA is the top seed in the group as one of two tournament hosts, Uruguay is rightly the oddsmakers’ first choice to top the standings at the end of pool play. Though the Celeste are in a transitional moment, there is plenty of talent and pedigree in the squad of former Leeds United boss and world-renowned tactician Marcelo Bielsa.
