Brazil vs Uruguay Copa America 2024 Tickets

Arguably there is not an international football side more universally popular as Seleção, and this is down to a number of factors. Firstly, the amazing success that Brazil have achieved in the game has led to huge interest in seeing them in action; secondly, there is the football-mad nature of the nation that has helped to breed an incredible atmosphere around any game they take part in.

Thirdly, the success of generational talents plying their trade in Europe has aided exposure to top talents since the 1980s onwards, with the likes of Romario, Ronaldo, Rivaldo, Ronaldinho, and Neymar making their mark.

Interest in watching the Copa America clearly goes way beyond just Brazil, and the tournament as a whole has evolved and matured into one of the biggest sporting events in the world.

It was first held in 1916 when it was titled the South American Football Championships, and only four nations took part. By 1975 this had expanded to include ten nations, and in 1993, two more teams were added, these coming from North and Central America, a move that has helped to further increase interest in the event.

Brazil vs Uruguay Copa America Tournament Record

You might be surprised to learn that Brazil don’t hold the most Copa America titles; indeed, they are some way behind both Argentina and Uruguay, and that is down in no small part to an extended period or relative failure that they endured in the not-so-distant past.

Between 1949 and 1989, they didn’t win a single title, a run that was finally ended during the reign of Sebastiao Lazaroni, with the Brazilian national team coach making the most of star strike pairing Bebeto and Romario, who played a key role in their title success.

In 1997 and 1999, they won the title again, both with 100% records thanks to the talent of bona fide legends like Real Madrid and FC Barcelona forward Ronaldo, ably aided by creative stars like Rivaldo and Ronaldinho.

They had another pair of back-to-back successes in 2004 and 2007, with Inter Milan forward Adriano and one-time Manchester City ace Robinho being the key attackers in those successes.

2019 saw Brazil clinch their ninth title with a 3-1 win over Peru in the Copa America Final, but efforts to get their tenth crown in 2021 were ended by Argentina, with former Real Madrid, PSG, and Manchester United winger Angel Di Maria scoring the winner in the crunch game.

Uruguay have an astounding record in the Copa America, with much of their most dominant periods coming early in the tournament’s history.

La Celeste won the first Copa America in 1916 and went on to collect the crown in five of the first eight editions. Victories in 1983 and 1987 were very much aided by the astounding talents of Enzo Francescoli, and, to date, their last success came in 2011 when Argentina were the host of the tournament.

In those finals, Uruguay dumped out Argentina in the Quarter-Finals after penalties, with Carlos Tevez missing the key spot-kick.

Liverpool legend Luis Suarez then bagged a brace in a Semi-Final win over Peru to set up a Copa America Final with Paraguay, where Diego Forlan scored twice in a comfortable 3-0 victory in Buenos Aires.

Brazil vs Uruguay Head-to-Head

Brazil and Uruguay have played each other on a number of occasions in the Copa America, with more recent clashes going the Brazilians' way.

At the 1999 Copa America Final, two goals from Rivaldo and a third from Ronaldo gave Brazil an easy 3-0 victory in Asuncion, Paraguay.

In 2007, they faced off in the Semi-Final, with the game ending in a thrilling 2-2 draw before Brazil triumphed on penalties.
