Getting tickets can prove very tricky, but at SeatPick, you’ll be able to access a wide supply, and we have plenty of United States vs Uruguay Copa America tickets available right now.
The Copa America was first run in 1916, some time ahead of FIFA’s first World Cup tournament and decades ahead of UEFA’s European Championship and what started out as a fairly modest four-team competition has slowly expanded to become a far more representative event.
As of 1975 all ten major South American nations have taken part, and as of 1993, two members of CONCACAF (North and Central America) have also been invited to beef up numbers and to spread exposure of the event even wider.

USMNT vs Uruguay Copa America Tournament Record
The USMNT have had an up-and-down history in the Copa America, with their first campaign, in 1993 ending abruptly in a group stage exit, but just two years later, The Stars and Stripes made a much better fist of things.
At those finals in Uruguay, they finished fourth, having beaten both Chile and Argentina in the group phase before edging out Mexico in the Quarter-Finals before losing 1-0 to giants Brazil and then fell to a 4-1 defeat to Colombia in the third-place match.
2007 was, to date, the worst display the US have managed in the tournament, as they lost all three of their group games.
2016’s Copa America was a centenary celebration hosted by the United States, and Jurgen Klinsmann’s side fought well to once again reach the Semi-Finals. There, in Houston, they were undone by Argentina, with former Real Madrid forward Gonzalo Higuain netting two of the four goals in a 4-0 victory.
To date, Uruguay holds the joint record for most Copa America titles with 15, though it is worth noting that a great deal of these successes come in the fairly distant past.
Eleven of their successes came before the expansion of the event in 1975, but La Celeste also dominated in the 1980s.
Successes in 1983 and 1987 were fueled by top star Enzo Francescoli, who represented Paris Saint-Germain during the peak period of his career. 1995 saw a very strong Uruguay side triumph on home soil by beating Brazil in the final in Montevideo.
16 years later, they collected their 15th championship with the likes of Liverpool hero Luis Suarez and former Manchester United striker Diego Forlan proving very effective attacking options for Oscar Tabarez’s side.
They triumphed in the Copa America Final that year when they defeated Paraguay 3-0 in Buenos Aires.
USA vs Uruguay Head-to-Head
These two teams have only met once previously in the Copa America, that match coming in the 1993 edition of the tournament.
A goal from Santiago Ostolaza settled a tight affair as Uruguay won 1-0 and went on to qualify for the knockout phase, whilst the United States finished bottom of the pack in their group.
