CONMEBOL and Concacaf have announced today, their new strategic collaboration agreement that brings Copa America to the U.S. in 2024 and expands the W Gold Cup with CONMEBOL teams.

The CONMEBOL Copa America 2024 will be played in the United States, in the summer of 2024, and will include 10 CONMEBOL teams and the six best Concacaf teams, as guests. 

The six Concacaf national teams will have the opportunity to qualify for this competition through the 2023/24 Concacaf Nations League.

This gives the USMNT a huge opportunity to prepare for the biggest World Cup in our history and also puts more meaning to the Nations League, which we hold the crown. 

Note: Copa America qualification begins in fall with 2023-24 group stage

For women's national teams, Concacaf has invited the top four CONMEBOL national teams to participate in the 2024 Concacaf W Gold Cup. It will be played in the United States.

The two Concacaf teams that will participate in the 2024 Summer Olympics (United States and Jamaica or Canada) will qualify directly for the 2024 Concacaf W Gold Cup. The remaining six Concacaf teams will be determined through the 2023 Road to Concacaf W Gold Cup.

The four guest CONMEBOL teams that will participate have been determined based on the results of the 2022 Women’s Copa America: Brazil (champion) Colombia (runner-up), Argentina (third place) and Paraguay (fourth place).

This gives more world class competition to our USWNT, and brings more significance to this tournament.
