Tournament organizers have announced group seeds and game dates for the historic 2016 Copa America Centenario, including three matches at **Lincoln Financial Field** in Philadelphia. The once-in-a-lifetime soccer summer event, which honors 100 years of the Copa America tournament, will feature some of the world's best teams and players competing from June 3-26 in the United States.
Lincoln Financial Field will host three matches (June 9, June 11 and June 14). The game times and opponents have not yet been determined, but the U.S. Men's National Team will be one of the teams featured in the June 11 match. Ticket information for all Copa America games, including the ones in Philadelphia, will be announced at a later date.
As the host nation, the United States earns the Group A seed, while Argentina, as the highest FIFA-ranked nation in the Americas (per December FIFA rankings), will be seeded top of Group D.
In celebration of the rich soccer tradition in the hemisphere and as the most decorated nations in the last 100 years in international competitions from their respective confederations, the national teams of Brazil and Mexico have also been awarded group seeds, and will head Groups B and C, respectively.
A recap of past events at Lincoln Financial Field. From lacrosse to tours and concerts, there is something for every fan. View the full gallery here...
