As one of the two biggest guns in South American football, it’s no surprise that interest in Argentina vs Colombia Copa America tickets is so high, but that need not concern you as you’ll be able to locate and purchase the best-priced tickets for the game right here at SeatPick.
The Copa America has over a century of history and was first competed for in 1916, way before the FIFA World Cup and the UEFA European Championships and the tournament has gone through a slew of changes over the decades.
Initially, only four nations took part in the South American Football Championships, as it was then called, but by 1947, this had increased to eight, and 1975 saw ten entrants involved in what was then a tournament without a centralized host.
1993 saw further expansion, and CONMEBOL, South America’s governing body for football, invited two members from CONCACAF (North and Central America), which further increased exposure to the event.
Now millions of fans make plans to attend the footballing festival and make the most of the high-quality football and amazing atmosphere in the relevant hosting country.
Getting tickets for the tournament is not easy, especially if the game you want to attend involves any of the big nations taking part. However, at SeatPick, we can guarantee access to a vast inventory of tickets for all matches in the competition, from the group stage to the Copa America Final.
We work with hundreds of the most trusted ticket reseller sites, which means users of our platform can always access a huge selection to sort through and compare prices before ultimately finding the best deals around.
Argentina vs Colombia Copa America Tournament Record
As of now, La Albiceleste have won Copa America on 15 occasions, and no nation has topped that total, but it is worth noting that in more recent years, they have struggled for consistency in the tournament, despite having a stellar set of players to select from.
Between 1921 and 1959, Argentina won 11 of their titles and then had to wait 32 years to make it twelve. They did so in 1991 and then retained the trophy in 1993, thanks in part to the amazing goal-scoring exploits of Fiorentina legend Gabriel Batistuta.
They would then have to wait another 28 years to lift the trophy, during which time they managed to lose four Copa America Finals. Perhaps the most painful period in the country’s footballing history came between 2015 and 2016 when Argentina managed to lose back-to-back finals against Chile, both via penalties after goalless draws.
It looked as if former FC Barcelona star Lionel Messi would have to go without winning a Copa America title until, in 2021, they ended their barren spell by beating Brazil on their own turf thanks to a solitary goal from Angel Di Maria.
For a footballing nation of Colombia’s standing, having just one Copa America title to their name is somewhat disappointing.
Los Cafeteros first appeared in the tournament in 1945, and in 1975, they finished as runners-up, and they clinched their first title in 2001 when they were the hosts of the competition.
National team coach Francisco Maturana guided his side to a flawless campaign that saw them win all five games leading up to the Copa America Final without conceding a single goal.
In the final, they took on Mexico in Bogota, and they clinched the win thanks to a single goal from Inter Milan defender Ivan Cordoba.
Since that success, Colombia have had an up and down time of it in the Copa America, albeit finishing in third place in both 2016 and 2021.
Argentina vs Colombia Head-to-Head
Argentina’s record against Colombia in the Copa America is fairly dominant, though perhaps less so in recent editions of the competition.
In 2019 the two sides were drawn into the same group, and goals from Roger Martinez and Dusan Zapata gave Colombia a 2-0 win in Salvador.
At the 2021 Copa America, they faced off in the Semi-Finals, with the game ending 1-1 and then going to penalties. There Argentina got the upper hand thanks to a penalty shoot-out win in Brasilia.
