Copa América 2024: A List Of The Tournament’s Previous Winners
The 48th edition of the Copa América is set to begin on June 20 this year in Atlanta, USA. Defending champions Argentina will play against Canada. Among the 10 teams affiliated with CONMEBOL, eight have claimed victory in the Copa América.
The Copa América, which started in 1916 with its first edition hosted in Argentina, is recognized as the oldest international competition worldwide.
The tournament’s trophy is extremely rare in the sporting world due to its historical value. The trophy has changed over the years and is marked by the presence of plaques with the different champions.
Argentina and Uruguay, both with 15 victories each, stand as the most successful champions in Copa América history. The Albiceleste, the reigning world champions, have also finished as runners-up 14 times.
Brazil last won the tournament in 2019, when they overcame Peru in the final. The green and yellows are still a long way behind their rivals in the race to become the continent’s greatest champions.
Brazil has won nine titles, the third most in the competition. This year’s competition will include teams from CONCACAF. The tournament has never been won by a non-South American team, but Mexico has reached two Copa América finals in 1993 and 2001.
