The United States will stage its biggest international men’s soccer tournament since the 1994 World Cup in 2016, when it hosts a combined CONCACAF-CONMEBOL Copa America, the two confederations announced in Miami Thursday morning.
The 2016 edition will mark the 100th anniversary of CONMEBOL, and to celebrate that landmark it is opening up the prestigious summer competition to six CONCACAF entrants: the USA, Mexico and four teams who will qualify in the next two years. Two will come from the 2014 Caribbean and Central American cup champions, while two others will qualify through the 2015 Gold Cup.
