The Copa America Centenario, a once-in-a-lifetime soccer event, which honors 100 years of the Copa America tournament, will feature some of the world's best teams (16) and players competing from June 3-26, 2016, in 10 cities across the United States.
The tournament will open on Friday, June 3, when the host United States welcomes Colombia to Levi's Stadium in Santa Clara, California, in Group A. The inaugural match will kick off at 9:30 p.m. ET. Other notable group matches include a rematch of the 2015 Copa America final between Argentina and Chile in Group D on June 6 (10 p.m. ET) and a second continental finals rematch when Jamaica and Mexico clash on June 9 (10 p.m. ET) in a replay of the 2015 CONCACAF Gold Cup final.
Argentina, with Lionel Messi, will find itself in a tough competition in the beginning of the tournament against Chile. The two teams last met in the 2015 Copa America final, with Chile emerging as the victor. Argentina, which has failed to win the trophy since 1993, will certainly take the opportunity to try to defeat Chile in the first game scheduled 6th of June in Santa Clara (California).
