Paraguay, Jamaica and Venezuela have confirmed their tickets to the Copa America and will play a group stage match at Austin's Q2 Stadium, while the fourth participant was announced in March after Costa Rica defeated Honduras.

Paraguay

Paraguay is one of CONMEBOL's historic teams, but its level has dropped significantly in recent years and it has not been able to compete with the South American powers. Their last great performance in the Copa America was a runner-up finish in the 2011 edition, in which they lost the final to Uruguay, one of the top winners of the competition. There is still time to buy your tickets to see Paraguay.

  • Number of participations in Copa América... 38 editions.
  • Best result in Copa América... champion in 2 occasions, the last one in 1979.
  • Last result in Copa América... quarterfinalist in the 2021 edition.

Jamaica

Jamaica will play its fourth Copa América and will not have it easy, as it will have to battle against Mexico, Ecuador and Venezuela for a place in the quarterfinals. In their three previous participations they failed to advance to the finals, so that is the great challenge for the Reggae Boys in 2024. Do not hesitate, a key match to enjoy and tickets to see Jamaica are at your fingertips.

  • Number of participations in Copa America... 3 editions.
  • Best result in Copa América... first round, last time in 2016.

Venezuela

Venezuela carries the stigma of being the only South American team that has never qualified for a World Cup and has also failed to win the Copa América, but its last few years have been very auspicious and on the road to the 2026 World Cup it will be looking for a good performance in this continental scale. Therefore, it is an ideal time to buy tickets to see Venezuela.

  • Number of participations in Copa América... 19 editions.
  • Best result in Copa América... fourth place once, in the 2011 edition.
  • Last Copa América result... eliminated in the first round in 2021.

Costa Rica

Since Costa Rica reached the fourth place in the 2014 World Cup, nothing seems impossible for the Ticos. Now they will seek not only to qualify for the Copa América in the playoffs, but also to break the curse of the quarterfinals and fight for a place on the podium. To do so, they will count on a generation of players that combines experience with the talent of young appearances. Buy tickets to see Costa Rica vs. Paraguay and let yourself be surprised.

  • Number of Copa América participations... 5 editions.
  • Best result in Copa América... quarterfinalist in 2001 and 2004.
  • Last Copa América result... eliminated in the first round in 2016.
