The Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta, Georgia will open the Copa America on 20 June, famous for being the home stadium of MLS franchise Atlanta United FC and hosting other major sporting events, such as Super Bowl LIII.
“We expect stadiums filled with the passion of the entire American continent for the inauguration and final of an unforgettable CONMEBOL Copa America,” said Alejandro Domínguez, President of CONMEBOL.
“In Atlanta, the ball will start rolling and it won’t stop for a month until the final match in Miami. These are magnificent stadiums in wonderful cities. We are grateful for the valuable cooperation of the US authorities and our friends from Concacaf in the organisation of this competition. We look forward to the best CONMEBOL Copa America of all time.”
