Perspective
The host for the 2028 Copa América has yet to be announced. Potential candidates include:
In accordance with the current host rotation system — which last hosted the tournament in 1993 — would be next in line to organize the event. In late February 2024, during a meeting between CONMEBOL president Alejandro Domínguez and government of President Daniel Noboa, Noboa expressed interest in organizing the tournament.[1][2]
As part of the proposal, the Ecuadorian government nominated eight cities to host matches and accommodate the participating teams: Quito, Guayaquil, Manta, Cuenca, Machala, Ambato, Riobamba and Salinas.[3]
Considering that the United States has better infrastructure than South American countries, it is expected to be confirmed as the hosts of the next edition. According to the Brazilian newspaper O Globo, there is reportedly a prior agreement between CONMEBOL and the United States Soccer Federation for the U.S. to host the tournament in both 2024 and 2028.[4]
It has been speculated that Uruguay (in conjunction with Argentina and Paraguay) could host the tournament as a test run of its infrastructure ahead of the 2030 FIFA World Cup.[5][6]
