The Copa America has come a long way over the course of its rich history. What started out as a four-team affair in 1916 has grown into a far more expansive tournament, and interest in the competition now reaches way beyond the South American continent.
Eight teams competed in the tournament from 1947 and that was increased to ten entrants by 1975. In 1993, two teams from CONCACAF (North and Central America) were added to give the competition even more of an allure.
The exposure of the tournament has grown, and now supporters from around the world look to attend the event, with millions seeking out tickets for the matches, which can make securing the best seats in the key games quite a task.
Some fans look to purchase tickets via CONMEBOL’s official ticketing area, but that is unlikely to yield success, whereas buying your tickets at SeatPick is a far more realistic and cost-effective endeavour.
Because we work with hundreds of the most trusted ticket reseller sites, we can then offer access to our users to the most expansive inventory online. This means that whatever the match, you’ll be able to locate plenty of options to meet your budget and schedule.
This covers all ticketing options, from general admission seats to hospitality packages. The level of service we offer has made us the leading player in the market, and we command a great reputation among football fans who have been using our site for years.
All transactions via our platform come with a purchase guarantee, and we charge no hidden fees, so it’s very much a win/win thing for all football fans.
USA vs Brazil Copa America Tournament Record
The United States were first invited to the Copa America in 1993 when they qualified via the CONCACAF route. They struggled to impress in those first finals, a solitary draw with Venezuela the only positive they secured on that occasion.
Two years later, they did much better, getting all the way to the Semi-Finals before they lost to Brazil by a single goal.
In 2016, a tournament hosted in the US, they once again made a real impact, beating Costa Rica and Paraguay to get out of their group before knocking out Ecuador in the Quarter-Finals in Seattle.
They then took on Argentina in the Semi-Finals, where they were humbled 4-0 in Houston.
As of 2023, Brazil have won the Copa America on nine occasions, a tally that should perhaps have been far higher given the success they have achieved in the FIFA World Cup. The fact that they have lost 12 finals is perhaps a sign of where Seleção have faltered.
They appeared in the inaugural finals in 1916 and won the title for the first time in 1919 when they hosted the Copa America.
Though Brazil won the FIFA World Cup in 1958, 1962, and 1970, with a certain legend by the name of Pele was at his peak, the Brazilian national side experienced a real slump in the Copa America in much the same period.
Indeed, between 1949 and 1989, they failed to win the competition once, losing in the final on four occasions in that spell.
Legendary forward Bebeto, who impressed in Europe with Deportivo La Coruna in La Liga, top-scored in the 1989 finals, and in seven games in that tournament, they conceded just one goal to clinch the championship.
Their most consistent spell in the Copa America ran between 1997 and 2007 when they won four of the five tournaments that took place. In both 1997 and 1999, they won every game, with former Real Madrid and Barcelona star Ronaldo netting a combined total of ten goals across those two tournaments.
Inter Milan forward Adriano top-scored in 2004 with seven goals as Brazil beat Argentina on penalties to win the title in Lima.
In 2007, it was former Manchester City ace Robinho who led the goalscoring charts as Brazil once again beat Argentina in the final.
Brazil’s 2019 triumph, their first in twelve years, saw Brazil concede just once in the whole tournament, culminating in a final success over Peru in Rio, having taken care of Argentina in the Semi-Final thanks to goals from Gabriel Jesus and former Liverpool favourite Roberto Firmino.
USA vs Brazil Head-to-Head
As of 2023, the United States and Brazil had met in just one previous Copa America fixture, and that came in the 1995 event.
On that occasion, they played each other in the Semi-Finals in Maldonado in Uruguay, and it took a single goal from AS Roma centre-back Aldair to see Brazil through to the final, where they would go on to lose to the hosts on penalties.
