How to Watch a Copa America 2024 Match in Kansas City, Kansas

The United States will host the Copa America between 20 June and 14 July. As in 2016, the main and largest capacity stadiums will be in Atlanta, New Jersey and California, but there will also be smaller stadiums on the list, such as Children's Mercy Park, which will host a Group A match.

With a capacity of 18,000, it will be the smallest venue and also one of the few that will host a single match. Therefore, I recommend that you book your tickets as soon as possible for the clash between Peru and Canada, two teams that have never played in the Copa America before and that in March will face each other for the fifth place in CONCACAF.

Tickets for the Copa America 2024 are now on sale and can be purchased online at Hellotickets. Prices depend on several factors such as: the stage of the competition, the opponents and, of course, the location of the seats.

How to get tickets for the Copa America 2024 in Kansas City?

It's easy to buy Copa America 2024 tickets. Decide which team you want to watch and check out all the matches being played in the different stadiums in the USA.

Regarding Kansas City, keep in mind that, although it is not one of the main venues and does not host any of the teams tipped as favourites for the title, the Children's Mercy Park stadium can only hold 18,000 people and the date of the tournament coincides with the local high season. Therefore, I advise you to buy your tickets to see Peru in Kansas City as far in advance as possible.

The Copa America 2024 schedule indicates that Children's Mercy Park will host only one match and that will be on June 25 at 5 p.m., on the second day of Group A, when Peru hosts Canada.

The rest of the Group A matches will be played in Arlington, Miami, Orlando and New Jersey, cities very distant from Kansas City. However, nearby, about a 30-minute drive away, is Arrowhead Stadium, which will host the match between the USA and Uruguay (third day of Group C), so it could prove to be a decisive contest.

Also note that the group stage matches are usually cheaper than those in the knockout stage of the tournament, so if you want to attend a game regardless of the teams facing each other, buying tickets to see Peru in Kansas City is a good value opportunity.

Copa America match date and time in Kansas City

Children's Mercy Park will host just one match and the only confirmed team is Peru, who will face the winner of the CONCACAF fifth-place playoff. They will be joined by Canada, and while the rosters for each team have yet to be confirmed, several world-renowned stars are expected to appear in Kansas City. So, one way or another, you won't regret buying tickets to see Peru in Kansas City and you're sure to have a great time!

Peru

Peru is a historic team that won two Copa America titles, in 1939 and 1975, but in recent years has been in a rebuilding phase and was left out of the Qatar 2022 World Cup. In 2024, with a squad that will probably combine young talent with experienced players, they will try to do a good job in a tough group that will also include Argentina, the reigning champions of the tournament. If you want to support them, don't hesitate to buy your tickets to see Peru.

• Number of Copa América appearances... 33 editions.
• Best result in Copa América... 2 times champion, the last one in 1975.
• Last result in Copa América... quarter-finalist in the 2021 edition.

Canada

Canada comes from playing the 2022 World Cup and many of its stars play in Europe, but it would be the first time they play the Copa América. They will play Trinidad and Tobago in March and will be looking to end their historic absence from the world's oldest national team championship after turning down an offer to play in the 2001 edition in Colombia.

• Number of Copa América appearances... none.
• Best Copa América result... debutant.
• Last Copa América result... debutant.

At 18,000 seats, Children's Mercy Park is the smallest of the stadiums hosting the Copa America and is also one of the least historic. Built in 2011, it is home to Sporting Kansas City, one of the founding teams of MLS. It has also hosted CONCACAF Gold Cup and US national team matches.

Located south of the Kansas River and easily accessible from Kansas City, it is also a frequent site of shows and musical concerts and, as a small stadium, offers a good view of the field from almost any corner of the stadium. In addition, it is single-storey and all sections of the stadium face the field.

What are the best locations at Children's Mercy Park?

All the seats at Children's Mercy Park face the field of play and it has a single level, with no columns, so when buying tickets to see Peru in Kansas City, keep in mind that the view is optimal from all areas. The stadium is divided into zones that are numbered from 101 to 134 and the first rows of each sector offer the most expensive seats with the best panoramic views.

How to get to Children's Mercy Park?

• By bus... you can get there from downtown Kansas City on the 101, 102, 106, 113, 116 and 118 bus services for a ride of approximately 45 minutes.
• By car... you can get to Children's Mercy Park via I-70 W in approximately 20 minutes.

Kansas City Stadium is the smallest stadium for Copa America 2024, so I recommend you buy your tickets to see Peru in Kansas City as soon as possible if you want to get some of the 18,000 seats available.

• Peak season: The date of the tournament, which runs from 20 June to 14 July, coincides with the US summer, which also marks the city's peak season.
• Small capacity: Children's Mercy Park is a small stadium, so it will be more difficult to get tickets for the game.
• Good visibility: Precisely because of its small capacity, you will have the opportunity to enjoy the proximity to the pitch and be much closer to the players. Most of the Copa America 2024 stadiums, which have an average of 70,000 seats, will not give you this possibility because the stands are far away from the pitch. But here, regardless of whether you choose the back seats or not, you will have a very good view of the pitch at a bargain price.
• Unique opportunity: Please note that the only match to be played in Kansas City will pit Peru, a CONMEBOL team, against Canada.

Getting tickets for the Group A match between Peru and Canada can be difficult due to the small capacity of Children's Mercy Park Stadium, but if you can't find tickets for this game don't be discouraged, because you can still bet on a nearby alternative.

In the neighbouring city that is also called Kansas City but belongs to Missouri is the Arrowhead Stadium, which will host the match between the USA and Uruguay in the third matchday of Group C on 1 July. This stadium has a capacity of 76,000 and is one of the largest venues, so you have a choice located just a few minutes' drive from Children's Mercy Park.

Also, as this match is the last matchday of Group C, it could prove to be a decisive match to determine the qualifiers for the finals. On the other hand, you will also be able to discover the atmosphere in the stands that will be generated by the home fans.
