The CONMEBOL (Conmebol) has announced that it will be approving the joint hosting of the 2026 Copa America by three countries: the United States, Canada, and Mexico. This decision comes as a significant milestone for the region's football community.

The Copa America is one of the most prestigious tournaments in South American football, with teams from Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Ecuador, Paraguay, Peru, Uruguay, Venezuela, and others competing against each other over the course of several weeks. The tournament typically takes place every four years, with the next edition scheduled to take place in 2021.

The decision to host the Copa America jointly by these three countries was made after much deliberation and consultation with various stakeholders. The decision was ultimately reached after a thorough evaluation of factors such as geographical proximity, economic viability, and the potential impact on the region's football infrastructure.

One of the main advantages of this decision is that it will provide more opportunities for fans to watch top-level international football, particularly those living outside of South America. Additionally, it will help to promote tourism and economic growth within the region, as visitors will have the opportunity to experience the unique culture and hospitality of the countries involved.

Overall, the approval of the joint hosting of the 2026 Copa America by the United States, Canada, and Mexico marks a significant step forward for the region's football community. It is hoped that this decision will inspire further investment in the development of football infrastructure, and that it will continue to grow and evolve over time.
