A total of three Copa America 2024 matches will be played at Miami's Hard Rock Stadium. Two are in the opening zone and will pit Uruguay and Panama in Group C on June 23 and Argentina and Peru in Group A on June 29. However, the main attraction Miami has to offer is that its stadium will host the final, which will take place on June 14.

The tournament schedule indicates that all matches at this venue, due to Miami's high summer temperatures, will be played at night. Uruguay-Panama will be at 9 p.m. on the East Coast, while Argentina and Peru and the final will be played at 8 p.m. in the same time zone.

Although Miami will host Group A and Group C matches and will surely welcome internationally renowned figures such as Federico Valverde, from Uruguay, and Lionel Messi, from Argentina and an illustrious resident of the city since he played for Inter Miami FC of the MLS, the Hard Rock Stadium will be the venue for the grand finale, which will define the champion of the 48th edition of the Copa America.

Date and time of the Copa America matches in Miami

In addition to the final, Miami will host Group A and C matches and will host Argentina, Peru, Uruguay and Panama. While rosters are not yet available, a number of world-renowned players are expected to appear at Hard Rock Stadium.

Argentina

Argentina is the reigning champion of the Copa América and also of the World Cup, so it arrives as one of the great candidates. In 2016 they lost the final against Chile, so they will seek revenge in the United States and will do so with Lionel Messi as their flagship. Do not hesitate, buy your tickets for Argentina and do not enjoy a match of the most competitive.

Peru

In the middle of a rebuilding process and after missing out on the 2022 World Cup, Peru will be looking to repeat the 1939 and 1975 titles. To do so, they will have a squad that combines young talent with experienced players. There is no doubt that the Peru vs. Argentina match is a great option.

Uruguay

Uruguay is one of the great candidates, not only because they are among the top winners of the Copa América but also because since the arrival of Marcelo Bielsa as coach they have beaten many rivals. It is another team that arrives in the midst of a generational change and is likely to present several talented youngsters. At the Hard Rock Stadium, you can enjoy the Uruguay-Panama match.

• Number of Copa América appearances... 45 editions.
• Best result in Copa América... 15 times champion, the last one in 2011.

Panama

Panama is one of the tournament's Cinderella teams and in the 2024 edition it will be playing in its second Copa América and this time it will be looking to qualify for the final phase and repeat the continental feats that other CONCACAF teams have achieved in the past. To do so, they will count on the experience of several players who play in MLS, so it may be interesting to buy tickets for Panama's match against Uruguay and see how they fare.

Hard Rock Stadium will be the venue where the Copa America 2024 will be played in Miami. This stadium was inaugurated in 1987 and has undergone several renovations that have brought its current capacity to 65,300 spectators. Throughout its history it has hosted soccer, tennis, baseball, soccer and soccer games, as well as numerous recitals, and has hosted the NFL Super Bowl six times.

As for the NFL, Hard Rock Stadium is home to the Miami Dolphins, one of the most popular soccer teams on the East Coast of the U.S. It is also part of the Formula 1 calendar with the Miami Grand Prix. In the future, it will be one of the venues for the 2026 World Cup to be hosted by the USA, along with Mexico and Canada.

The stadium is also located in Miami Gardens, north of South Beach, but with a wide range of buses to get there from the main points of the city. On the other hand, it has parking, so you can also arrive by rented car, which will be ideal if you plan to visit the city in three days or even less time and need to optimize the routes.

What are the best locations for Hard Rock Stadium?

Hard Rock Stadium is built on a 360° format base, so the view is clear from any part of the venue. Apart from that, the best locations are those that include sectors 101 to 256, while those from 301 to 354 are in the upper part.

The disadvantage of the upper part of the stadium is that during rainy or extremely hot days, which in Miami in the summer are very frequent, the retractable roof of the stadium is usually closed to protect the attendees. This will prevent you from getting wet or suffering from the heat when enjoying your Copa America tickets, but it may create a sense of confinement, especially in the back seats.

How to get to Hard Rock Stadium?

• By bus... you can get there from downtown Miami by combining the services of lines 18, 20, 27, 95 and 100 in a journey of approximately 2 hours.
• By car... you can get there via the I-95 Express highway in a 45-minute drive.

Usually, the most outstanding players of the tournament will be recognized and the organizers will award the Golden Glove, Golden Shoe and Golden Ball to the best goalkeeper, scorer and best player, respectively. The silver medals will be awarded to the loser and, later, the trophy will be presented to the champion team.

The closing concert will surely feature several outstanding artists singing the official song of the tournament. In Copa América 2016, which was also held in the United States, Pitbull and Becky G were in charge of singing Superstar, which was the theme chosen to promote that event.

So far, the organization of Copa América 2024 has not provided information about the artists that will participate in this event, but Capitán, the mascot of the tournament, was presented during the draw for the group stage.

When it comes to buying your Copa America tickets, keep in mind:

• Copa America is one of the most important events of the year on the U.S. sports calendar, so I advise you to buy your tickets as far in advance as possible.
• Miami is one of the main cities in the United States and the celebration of the America's Cup coincides with the local summer, so the influx of tourists can be high. This will not only mean complications when it comes to getting last minute tickets, but also if you want to participate in the best tours of the city. That is why I advise you to book as far in advance as possible.
• Although Miami Gardens is a tourist attraction, it is geographically far from South Beach, which is the epicenter of Miami, so if you are planning to attend a Copa America game, keep in mind that you will have to consider the time it will take to travel by public transportation or the time you will need to find parking if you plan to travel by car.
• If you run out of tickets for the games at Hard Rock Stadium, keep in mind that Florida will also have games in Orlando, which will host Group A and Group C matches. This way, you can try to attend these games to enjoy the oldest national team championship in the world.
