This is an old revision of this page, as edited by 103.56.4.206 (talk) at 02:07, 27 June 2024 (→Matches). The present address (URL) is a permanent link to this revision, which may differ significantly from the current revision.

Group A of the 2024 Copa América is one of four groups in the first stage of the tournament. The tournament involved national teams from CONMEBOL (South America) but also includes invited teams from the CONCACAF region (North, Central America and the Caribbean), that qualified via the 2023–24 CONCACAF Nations League.[1]

The group is made up of defending champions and current world champions Argentina, Peru and Chile, all three from CONMEBOL, and Canada from CONCACAF.[2] The draw for the groups was conduced on December 7, 2023, with Argentina being previously seeded into the group as head.[3] The group's matches, which include the opening match of the tournament between Argentina and Canada, are taking place from June 20–29 at six venues in six U.S. cities.[4]

The top two teams, following a round-robin of three matches per team, will advance to the quarter-finals.[5]

Peru vs Canada

Peru lost 0–1 to Canada. This is Canada's third ever victory over a CONMEBOL opponent, the last time being a 2−0 win over Colombia in the 2000 CONCACAF Gold Cup final.[20]

The two teams had met once before, a friendly match won 2–0 by Peru in September 2010.[21] Another precedent between both sides is a friendly match won 3–1 by Canada in 1988; however, this encounter was not considered an international "A" match by FIFA as Peru had fielded their U19 team.[22][23]
