Canada Copa America 2024 match schedule: Group opponents, dates, times, stadiums, cities for Les Rouges in USA | Sporting News Canada

The Copa America 2024 will see a special edition of the tournament take place in the United States — and Canada will be there to enjoy the party.

Les Rouges were one of the last teams to book their qualification, but they had to do it the hard way after beating Trinidad and Tobago in a CONCACAF Nations League playoff match in Texas on March 23.

Victory not only earned them a spot alongside 10 teams from South America’s CONMEBOL region and five others from CONCACAF, but it ensured they will also open the tournament.

They will face defending champions Argentina, and a possible matchup with Lionel Messi, when the competition begins on June 20.
