Read the most complete guide to the 2024 edition where I tell you which matches you will be able to see in Glendale and many other interesting facts.

How to get tickets for Copa America 2024 in Glendale?

You can already buy tickets for the Copa America in the official website of Hellotickets. However, due to the fact that the calendar of the Copa America 2024 coincides with the American summer, and taking into account the 2016 edition, which also took place in the USA, a massive attendance is expected. Therefore, I advise you to buy your tickets as far in advance as possible, especially considering that Glendale is hosting the Mexican National Team.

State Farm Stadium in Glendale will host a total of three Copa America matches. The first two will be in the group stage and will pit Colombia against Costa Rica in Group D on 28 June at 15.00 hrs.

Also, Mexico, which has one of the largest immigrant communities in the world in Arizona, will also be in Glendale, so it is expected that the Tricolor will have a lot of support from the Mexican fans who get tickets for the match against Ecuador. Mexico' s match with Ecuador will take place on 30 June at 5 p.m. to close out the third day of Group B play.

Glendale will also host one of the quarter-final matches, pitting the winner of Group D against the second-placed team from Group C. The latter zone includes the United States among its participants, so the home team could make an appearance in the knockout stage at State Farm Stadium, one of the main venues for Copa America 2024.

Glendale's history at Copa America 2016

As with MetLife Stadium in New Jersey, State Farm Stadium has already been in the spotlight at the 2016 Copa America, hosting Mexico's win over Uruguay and the opening round draw between Ecuador and Peru. However, it was also the venue for the third-place match in which Colombia defeated the USA, so the stadium does not bring back the best memories for the home side.

Dates and times of Copa America matches in Glendale

In principle, three teams have already secured their presence in Glendale: Colombia, Mexico and Ecuador. They will be joined by the winner of the CONCACAF play-off for sixth place, which was decided in March in a single match between Honduras and Costa Rica in a neutral stadium. In the end, Costa Rica qualified.

Colombia

Colombia are a regular fixture at the Copa America and come into the competition on the back of a creditable third place finish in the last edition. They have a squad made up mostly of players from European football and will be looking to repeat the result of 2001, when they were champions for the first time. One chance to see this team is to buy tickets for Colombia against the winner of the CONCACAF play-offs.

• Number of Copa America appearances... 23 editions.
• Best result in Copa América... one time champion in 2021 edition.
• Last Copa América result... third in the 2021 edition.

Mexico

Mexico is the most successful CONCACAF team in the Copa America, although it has twice fallen short of the title and lost the final. In the 2024 edition, they will be looking to make a splash in the stadiums of the United States, their historic rival and one of the teams challenging them for the leadership of their confederation. We recommend you book tickets for the Mexico v Ecuador match.

• Number of Copa América appearances... 11 editions.
• Best result in Copa América... runner-up twice, in 1993 and 2001.
• Last Copa América result... eliminated in the first round in the 2015 edition.

Ecuador

Ecuador have grown a lot in recent years, especially since their first World Cup appearance in 2002, and are therefore a mirror for many other teams. However, they still have to perform well in the Copa America and will try to do so with Moises Caicedo, one of the most expensive players in history. A good choice if you want to enjoy the competition is to buy tickets for the match between Ecuador and Mexico.

• Number of Copa América participations... 29 editions.
• Best result in Copa América... Fourth place in 2 occasions, the last one in 1993.
• Last Copa América result... quarter-finalist in the 2021 edition.

Costa Rica

They have a squad that combines the experience of their experienced players with the talent of promising youngsters. You can enjoy tickets for Costa Rica vs Colombia at State Farm Stadium.

• Number of Copa America appearances... 5 editions.
• Best result in Copa América... Quarter-finalist in 2001 and 2004.
• Last Copa América result... eliminated in the first round in 2016.

Glendale will host the Copa America at State Farm Stadium, a 63,400-seat stadium that opened in 2006 and has been the venue for several of America's sporting events in recent years. It has hosted three Super Bowl games, the CONCACAF Gold Cup and three games of the 2016 Copa America.

It is also the home stadium of the Arizona Cardinals, one of the most traditional and popular teams in the NFL. On the other hand, State Farm Stadium is frequently the venue for music festivals, concerts and large-scale shows, being one of the artistic epicentres of the Midwest of the USA.

Note that during the 2016 Copa America it was the stadium that received the largest number of Mexican fans. The Tricolor national team played a group stage match, as it will do in 2024, but Arizona also has one of the largest Mexican immigrant communities in the world. That's why I recommend you book your tickets for the Mexico vs Ecuador match as soon as possible.

What are the best locations for State Farm Stadium?

State Farm Stadium is considered an architectural icon of the region and is often cited as one of the top ten sports stadiums in the world. Much of its potential lies in the fact that it offers unobstructed views of the playing field from any part of the stands.

Comprised of four inner rings, the 101 to 248 sectors offer the closest perspective, while the 401 to 455 zones offer a more distant, but also clearer, view of the playing field. Also in the upper section are the most prominent boxes and stalls, which tend to be the most expensive seats in the stadium.

How to get to State Farm Stadium?

• By bus... you can get there from downtown Glendale on the 70 bus for a journey time of approximately 40 minutes.
• By car... you can get there from downtown on Glendale Ave in approximately 20 minutes.

When buying your Copa America tickets you need to keep in mind that:

• The America's Cup coincides with the summer in the United States, which is part of the peak season in major cities across the country, so the influx of tourists will be high.
• Glendale is located about 20 minutes drive from Phoenix, the capital of Arizona and one of the main tourist destinations in the region, which will increase the influx of visitors.
• You should buy your tickets as far in advance as possible, which will allow you to secure your seat at the games at State Farm Stadium and get better seats at more affordable prices.
• Please note that in the United States the rates are not fixed, so if you buy tickets close to the date of the match you will pay a higher cost.
• Mexico will be playing in Glendale and Arizona is one of the states with the largest number of immigrants in this country, which will add more interest in tickets.
• Unlike other Copa America venues, in the case of Glendale there are no nearby stadiums where you can look for a second chance to see a match.

Consider that Glendale's proximity to the state capital will allow you to combine the Copa America games with the best tours of Phoenix and other nearby experiences, such as visiting Sedona and from there, touring the Antelope Canyon and other rock formations that Arizona is famous for.

Keep in mind that summer is a great time to discover Arizona's natural wonders and take part in adventure tours that will allow you to discover one of America's most famous states for its scenic landscapes and panoramic views in all its glory.
