How to Watch a Copa America 2024 Match in Kansas City, Kansas

The United States will host Copa America between June 20 and July 14. As in 2016, the main and largest capacity stadiums will be in Atlanta, New Jersey and California, but there will also be smaller ones on the roster, such as Children's Mercy Park, which will host a Group A match.

With a capacity of 18,000, it will be the smallest venue and also one of the few that will host a single game. Therefore, I recommend that you book your tickets as soon as possible for the clash between Peru and Canada, two teams that have never played in the Copa America before and that will face each other in March for the fifth place in the CONCACAF standings.

Copa America 2024 tickets are now on sale and can be purchased online at Hellotickets. Prices depend on several factors such as: the instance of the competition, the opponents faced and, of course, the location of the seats.

How to get tickets for Copa America 2024 in Kansas City?

It's easy to buy Copa America 2024 tickets. Decide which team you want to watch and check out all the games being played in the different stadiums in the U.S.

Regarding Kansas City, keep in mind that although it is not one of the main venues and does not host any of the teams that have been tipped as favorites to win the title, Children's Mercy Park stadium can only hold 18,000 people and the date of the tournament coincides with the local high season. Therefore, I advise you to buy tickets to see Peru in Kansas City as far in advance as possible.

The Copa America 2024 schedule indicates that Children's Mercy Park will host only one match and that will be on June 25 at 5 p.m. on the second day of Group A, when Peru hosts Canada.

The rest of the Group A matches will be played in Arlington, Miami, Orlando and New Jersey, cities far away from Kansas City. However, nearby, about 30 minutes away by car, is Arrowhead Stadium, which will host the match between the United States and Uruguay (third date of Group C), so it could be a decisive competition.

Also note that the group stage matches are usually cheaper than those of the knockout stage of the tournament, so if you want to attend a game regardless of the teams facing each other, buying tickets to see Peru in Kansas City is a good value opportunity.

Date and time of the Copa America match in Kansas City

Children's Mercy Park will host just one match and the only confirmed team is Peru, which will face the winner of the CONCACAF fifth-place playoff. They will be joined by Canada, and while the rosters for each team have not yet been confirmed, several world-renowned stars are expected to appear in Kansas City. So, one way or another, you won't regret buying tickets to see Peru in Kansas City, and you're sure to have fun!

Peru

Peru is a historic team that won two Copa America titles, in 1939 and 1975, but in recent years entered a rebuilding phase and was left out of the Qatar 2022 World Cup. In 2024, with a squad that will possibly combine young talents with experienced players, they will try to do a good job in a complicated group that will also include Argentina, the reigning champion of the tournament. If you want to support them, do not hesitate to buy tickets to see Peru.

• Number of participations in Copa América... 33 editions.
• Best result in Copa América... champion in 2 occasions, the last one in 1975.
• Last result in Copa América... quarterfinalist in the 2021 edition.

Canada

Canada comes from playing the 2022 World Cup and many of its stars play in Europe, but it would be the first time they play the Copa América. In March, they will play against Trinidad and Tobago for qualification and will seek to put an end to their historic absence in the oldest national team championship in the world after having turned down the offer to play in the 2001 edition in Colombia.

At 18,000 seats, Children's Mercy Park is the smallest stadium among those hosting Copa America and is also one of the stadiums with the least history. Built in 2011, it is home to Sporting Kansas City, one of the founding teams of MLS. It has also hosted CONCACAF Gold Cup and U.S. national team matches.

Located south of the Kansas River and easily accessible from Kansas City, it is also a frequent site of shows and musical concerts and, as it is a small stadium, it offers a good view of the field from almost any corner of the stadium. In addition, it has only one floor and all sections are focused on the field.

What are the best locations at Children's Mercy Park?

All the seats at Children's Mercy Park are oriented towards the field of play and it has a single level, without columns, so when buying tickets to see Peru in Kansas City, keep in mind that the view is optimal from all sectors. The stadium is divided into zones that are numbered from 101 to 134 and the first rows of each sector offer the most expensive seats with the best panoramic views.

How to get to Children's Mercy Park?

• By bus... you can get there from downtown Kansas City on bus lines 101, 102, 106, 113, 116 and 118 for a ride of approximately 45 minutes.
• By car... you can get to the Children's Mercy Park from I-70 W in approximately 20 minutes.

Kansas City Stadium is the smallest stadium for Copa America 2024, so I recommend you purchase your tickets to see Peru in Kansas City as soon as possible if you want to get some of the 18,000 seats available.

• Peak season: The tournament, which will be played between June 20 and July 14, coincides with the U.S. summer, which also marks the city's peak season.
• Small capacity: Children's Mercy Park is a small stadium, so it will be more difficult to get tickets for the match.
• Good visibility: Precisely because of its small capacity, you will have the opportunity to enjoy the proximity to the field and stay much closer to the players. Most of the Copa America 2024 stadiums, which have an average of 70,000 seats, will not give you this possibility because the stands are far away. But here, regardless of whether you choose the back seats, you will have a very good view of the field of play at a bargain price.
• Unique opportunity: Note that the only game to be played in Kansas City will pit Peru, a CONMEBOL team, against Canada.

Getting tickets for the Group A match between Peru and Canada may be complicated due to the small capacity of Children 's Mercy Park Stadium, but if you finally don't find tickets for this game don't be discouraged, because you can still bet on a nearby alternative.

In the neighboring city that is also called Kansas City but belongs to Missouri is the Arrowhead Stadium, which will host the match between the United States and Uruguay for the third date of Group C on July 1. This stadium has a capacity of 76,000 spectators and is one of the largest venues, so you will have a choice located just a few minutes' drive from Children's Mercy Park.

Also, as this match is the last date of Group C, it could be a decisive match to define the qualifiers of the zone for the finals. On the other hand, you will also be able to discover the atmosphere in the stands that the local fans will generate.
