Group seeds, game dates announced for historic 2016 Copa America Centenario

Florida, USA (AP) — The semi-finals of next year’s Centennial Copa America will be played in Glendale, Arizona, on June 21 and at Chicago the following day.

The quarter-finals will be at Seattle on June 16 and at East Rutherford, New Jersey, the next day, then end with two games June 18, at Foxborough, Massachusetts, and at Santa Clara, California.

The United States is the top seed in Group A and will host the tournament opener at Santa Clara on June 3, organisers said Thursday. The Americans play at Chicago four days later and at Philadelphia on June 11.

If the US win their group, their path to the final would include a quarter-final at Seattle and a semi-final at Houston. If the Americans finish second, their route would be a quarter-final at East Rutherford and a semi-final at Chicago.

Brazil head Group B and play at Pasadena, California (June 4), Orlando, Florida (June 8) and Foxborough (June 12).

Mexico are seeded in Group C and play at Glendale (June 5), Pasadena (June 9) and Houston (June 13).

Argentina top Group D and play at Santa Clara (June 6), Chicago (June 10) and Seattle (June 14).

The special 16-team tournament marks the 100th anniversary of the first Copa America, South America’s national-team championship. A draw will be held early next year for the tournament, which includes 10 teams from South America and six from the CONCACAF region.
