How to Watch a Copa America 2024 Match in Orlando

The United States will once again host the Copa America and among the novelties of the event are several stadiums that will make their international debut. One of them is the Exploria Stadium, a venue that will bring the oldest national team championship in the world to Orlando, and where you can enjoy tickets to see Chile against Canada or Trinidad and Tobago or tickets to see Bolivia against Panama.

Tickets for the Copa America are already available in Hellotickets. Prices depend on the stage of the competition, the opponents to be faced and the location of the seats. Keep up to date with all the information about the 2024 edition of the Copa America and do not miss any detail.

How to get tickets for the Copa America 2024 in Orlando?

In Hellotickets you have all the tickets already on sale, including the final in Miami. When you enter you can search for your favorite national team and you will see all the matches played in each of the U.S. venues and their dates. For example, if you are in Orlando between June 29 and July 1, you can buy tickets to see Chile vs:

• Tickets to see Chile vs. Canada or Trinidad and Tobago (Chile's opponent is yet to be determined).
• Tickets tosee Bolivia vs. Panama.

Also, keep in mind that the schedule of Copa America 2024 matches coincides with the summer in Orlando, which is high season in the city and has a large influx of tourists, so I advise you to buy tickets for the Copa America as early as possible as soon as they go on sale.

Orlando's Exploria Stadium will host two Copa America group stage matches. The first will pit Chile against CONCACAF's fifth-place finisher, which will be Canada and Trinidad & Tobago, on June 29 at 8 p.m. for the third day of Group A play.

On the other hand, this stadium will also host the match between Bolivia and Panama that will close Group C on July 1 at 9 p.m. on the East Coast. This match is key, as both teams can reach the last date of the initial zone with a chance of qualifying for the knockout stage.

Both matches pit teams from CONMEBOL and CONCACAF, the two confederations participating in the championship, so you will be able to experience the warmth of fans from very different countries at the stadium. Also, both Group A and Group C are very competitive zones, so every match counts when it comes to qualifying.

Dates and times of the Copa America matches in Orlando

Orlando is not one of the main venues for Copa America 2024, but Exploria Stadium will host CONMEBOL and CONCACAF teams on key dates to qualify for the knockout stage. The stadium will host Chile, Bolivia, Panama and the winner of the playoff to be played in March for a spot in Canada.

Chile

Chile is in the doldrums and has failed to qualify for the last two World Cups, but the Copa América brings back good memories. In 2015 they won for the first time in their history and in 2016 they were two-time champions, precisely in the USA, where they defeated Argentina in the final. Now they will share Group A in the 2024 edition and you have the opportunity to buy your tickets to see Chile in Orlando.

• Number of participations in Copa América... 40 editions.
• Best result in Copa América... champion twice, the last one in 2016.
• Last Copa América result... quarterfinalist in the 2021 edition.

Bolivia

Bolivia is a historic team in Copa América and was even champion in 1964, but for the last few years it has not been able to transcend and its last performances were not good. In any case, the United States brings back a good memory, since in 1994 they played their last World Cup there so far. There is still time to book your tickets to see Bolivia against Panama.

• Number of participations in Copa América... 23 editions.
• Best result in Copa América... champion in the 1964 edition.
• Last Copa América result... eliminated in the first round in 2021.

Panama

Panama has only played the Copa América once and failed to get past the first round. In this edition, they will try to break the curse and repeat the feats of other CONCACAF teams, such as Honduras, which in the 2001 edition held in Colombia reached a historic third place. Book your tickets to watch Panama vs. Bolivia and don't miss this historic moment.

• Number of participations in Copa América... 1 edition.
• Best result in Copa América... first stage, in 2016.
• Last result in Copa América... first stage in 2016.

Canada

Canada was invited to play in the 2011 edition but decided to decline the offer citing security concerns and since then has not been close to playing the Copa America again until now, when it will play the playoff against Trinidad and Tobago in one of the best moments of its history, after having played the 2022 World Cup with several European soccer stars in the squad. If they win this match, those in attendance will be able to watch Canada's match against Chile.

• Number of Copa América appearances... none.
• Best result in Copa América... debutant.
• Last Copa América result... debutant.

Orlando will host the Copa America at Exploria Stadium, a venue opened in 2017 that seats 25,500 spectators. It is one of the smallest stadiums among those that will host the tournament and, except for the final of the CONCACAF Champions League 2020, it has not hosted major competitions. But now you can enjoy Copa America tickets at this venue.

The Exploria Stadium is home to Orlando City SC, the team that is one of the fixed franchises of MLS and that in the city's sports scene is often overshadowed by Orlando Magic games in the NBA, but has grown a lot in recent years and continues to incorporate figures to be a protagonist in the American league.

What are the best locations for Exploria Stadium?

Exploria Stadium has a square design with two tiers of bleachers, with the lower locations offering a wider and closer view of the playing field. In the upper tier you will be able to get more seats and at cheaper rates, although you will also find boxes and special seats, which offer additional food and beverage services.

Just keep in mind that to access the best seats and get affordable prices you will have to be attentive to buy tickets as soon as they go on sale. In the United States, ticket prices are dynamic, so the best alternative is to buy in advance, secure your place in the experience and freeze the price, which tends to increase in last-minute bookings.

How to get to Exploria Stadium?

• By bus... you can get there from downtown Orlando on bus lines 8, 15, 20, 21, 25, 36 and 51 in approximately 45 minutes.
• By car... you can take FL-408 for a 15-minute drive to the stadium parking area.

• High tourist influx: June and July in Orlando coincide with the summer months which are, in turn, the high season in the city. So you will have to take into account that the influx of tourists will be very high when buying tickets for the America's Cup.
• Limited capacity: Exploria Stadium is one of the Copa America 2024 venues with the smallest capacity, so the 25,500 seats for Chile' s match against Canada or Trinidad and Tobago and Bolivia's match against Panama will sell out quickly. Also, Florida has another venue in Miami, which is where the final of the tournament will also be played, so if you have no luck with tickets for the matches in Orlando you can appeal to this resource.
• Evening hours: Due to the high temperatures in the region during the summer, the matches will be played at night, so you can make the most of your visit to the city by enjoying other activities throughout the day.
• Bus, the best way to get there: It is the best alternative to get to the stadium, although this means of transportation could be a bit crowded during the match days of the Copa America, so I advise you to take enough time to get to the stadium in advance. Also keep this in mind if you plan to visit Orlando by car and need to use the stadium parking lot.

The America's Cup coincides with the summer in Orlando, so there will be many activities you can do in the city while the oldest national team tournament in the world is being played, including participating in the best tours of the city that will allow you to discover an alternative and natural profile of the region and all its surrounding attractions.

Enjoy a theme park

The city is a paradise of fun and among the best theme parks in Orlando you can visit Universal Studios, Crayola Experience, Disney World and also enjoy the water parks, among which Aquatica, Island H2O and Legoland Florida stand out. However, keep in mind that these plans are in high demand and Universal Studios tickets sell out quickly.

Attend a show in Orlando

If you plan a multi-day stay after enjoying your America's Cup tickets, you can marvel at the best shows in town. Among them are the Mango 's Tropical Cafe and, my favorite, the Cirque du Soleil shows. Don't hesitate to book tickets to see the Cirque du Soleil show.

Get to know Orlando's surroundings

Orlando is not only a spectacle in itself because of the many attractions it offers, but also an ideal place to use as a base to discover the surroundings, once you have enjoyed your tickets for the America's Cup. In full day excursions from the city you will be able to:

• Visit the Everglades wetlands.
• Live a safari experience in Wild Florida.
• Visit the Kennedy Space Center.
• Marvel at the colonial beauty of the town of St. Augustine.
