International football fans will feel spoiled in 2024, as numerous major competitions are taking place. <\/span><\/p>\n The African Cup of Nations will take place over the course of January and February, but the summer will see the arrival of two other big tournaments.<\/span><\/p>\n While many may be interested in the UEFA European Championships taking place in Germany, some 7,800+km (4,800+ miles) away in the United States, the Copa America 2024 event will also be taking place at the same time.<\/span><\/p>\n The Copa America will see the top 16 teams from two confederations (CONMEBOL and CONCACAF) compete across 14 venues in the US as they try to become champions of that region. <\/span><\/p>\n The winner of the tournament will then take on the winner of the Euros in the Finalissima in 2025. Argentina were the last\u00a0<\/span>Copa America winners<\/span><\/a>\u00a0and were victorious in defeating Italy 3-0 in the last Finalissima that took place in 2022.<\/span><\/p>\n Argentina are thought to be the current favorites to win this year\u2019s edition of the quadrennial competition, with the bookies odds already favoring La Albiceleste. It is hardly a surprise, given the caliber of the players that they have at their disposal. <\/span><\/p>\n However, it is worth remembering that the current FIFA World Cup holders have continually fallen short in their pursuit of a major trophy over the last couple of decades.<\/span><\/p>\n Nonetheless, they appear to have been able to determine the winning formula when it comes to dominating international football, which is why they have perhaps been listed at a price of +150 with the trusted\u00a0<\/span>32Red sport betting<\/span><\/a>\u00a0site. Brazil are said to be their closest challenger, with odds of +200, as they look to begin life under Dorival Junior as their new head coach.<\/span><\/p>\n Uruguay (+500), Colombia (+700), and the USA (+1,000) complete the list of the top five, with Ecuador (+1,100) and Mexico (+1,200) just slightly behind. The remainder of the 16 nations set to compete are considered even bigger outsiders.<\/span><\/p>\n Like many international tournaments, there will be a ton of the world\u2019s best players on show, doing what they can on the pitch to bring glory to their country.<\/span><\/p>\n Argentina is arguably the favorite because they have star players in every single position of their squad, with the goalkeeping department just as strong as the attacking areas of the team. They almost became the national team with the longest ever unbeaten run<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n It is almost the same for Brazil, although that might be where the similarities in quality stop. However, that is not to say that there are national teams without star quality.<\/span><\/p>\n Uruguay have Luis Su\u00e1rez, Darwin Nu\u00f1ez, Federico Valverde, Rodrigo Bentancur, and Manuel Ugarte among many others, whereas Ecuador have Mois\u00e9s Caicedo and special talent Kendry P\u00e1ez.<\/span><\/p>\nWho are the favorites for the 2024 Copa America?<\/span><\/h2>\n
Who are likely to be the six best players at Copa America 2024?<\/span><\/h2>\n
