The 2028 Copa América will be the 49th edition of the Copa América. The primary football competition will be between the national teams of South America. The competition, organized by CONMEBOL, is the oldest continental football tournament still running today. Argentina is the defending champion, having won its record 16th title in 2024.
Host selection
[edit]The host for the 2028 Copa América has yet to be announced. Potential candidates include:
In accordance with the current host rotation system — which last hosted the tournament in 1993 — would be next in line to organize the event. In late February 2024, during a meeting between CONMEBOL president Alejandro Domínguez and government of President Daniel Noboa, Noboa expressed interest in organizing the tournament.[1][2]
As part of the proposal, the Ecuadorian government nominated eight cities to host matches and accommodate the participating teams.: Quito, Guayaquil, Manta, Cuenca, Machala, Ambato, Riobamba and Salinas.[3]
Considering that the United States has better infrastructure than South American countries, it is expected to be confirmed as the hosts of the next edition. According to the Brazilian newspaper O Globo, tthere is reportedly a prior agreement between CONMEBOL and the United States Soccer Federation for the U.S. to host the tournament in both 2024 and 2028.[4]
It has been speculated that Uruguay (in conjunction with Argentina and Paraguay) could host the tournament as a test run of its infrastructure ahead of the 2030 FIFA World Cup.[5][6]
