There are less than four months left until the start of the 2024 Copa America, which will be held in the United States As the Argentine national team will seek to defend the title it won in Brazil 2021.
It has been known for some time that the first appearance will be on June 20 against Trinidad and Tobago or Canada, and after that will come the matches against Chile and Peru, but recently two more matches have been confirmed. The Albiceleste national team will play in North America: these are the friendly matches that precede the tournament, where Scaloni will be able to make the last tests for the first official match..
What has already been confirmed without the possibility of change are the two competitors: Ecuador and Guatemala. In the meantime, what remains to be ratified is the initial idea of date and location that both parties have. The Ecuadorian team will be the first test, and will initially be held on Sunday, June 9, in Chicago. Meanwhile, on Friday the 14th – six days before the first group stage match – Argentina will face Guatemala (who did not qualify for the Copa America) in Washington.
In this way, Argentina will have two tests of different levels in pursuit of achieving the defense of the Copa America title in the best way. Of course, with Ecuador it will be a difficult test, considering that La Tre started the qualifiers for the 2026 World Cup in a very good way: they only lost in the first match against Argentina, then they collected five matches without losses (three wins and two draws)… In addition In addition, Ecuador could be a potential competitor for the national team in the quarter-finals or semi-finals, depending on the performance of the two teams.
Meanwhile, Guatemala will not be a contender for a significant hierarchy, as they do not come from performing well in the CONCACAF Nations League, where they were far from fighting for a place in the Copa America.
