Concacaf and CONMEBOL announce partnership that brings 2024 Copa América to USA and more

Concacaf and CONMEBOL announced the signing of a strategic partnership that will bring the 2024 Copa América to the United States and more. The partnership was put in place in an effort to strengthen the two regions.

The agreement includes three major tournaments: the 2024 Copa América (hosted in the U.S.), the 2024 Concacaf W Gold Cup (hosted in the U.S.) and a new club competition featuring a “final four” format.

After much skepticism over what the 2026 World Cup hosts – USA, Mexico and Canada – would do to prepare for the tournament (considering they will not partake in the Concacaf qualifiers), news surrounding a possible return to the South American tournament has begun to emerge, with even the U.S. hosting the tournament to be held in 2024 being very likely.

Messi, of course, was the main architect of the victory. And not only thanks to his extraterrestrial talent but also his commanding voice inside the dressing room.

Messi Despide El 2021 Convertido En Un Animal De La Cumbia

Aprovechando la pausa en la Ligue 1, Leo Messi escapó del frío y los cielos grises de Europa para pasar las fiestas de fin de año en su natal Rosario. Y ahí la vida es simple: con la familia, al lado de la piscina y con una buena dosis de cumbia y flúor.

No tengo un cronograma de lo que hace a diario, pero por las migas de pan que quedan en redes sociales, es claro que mientras haya sol Messi comparte con su esposa, Antonella Roccuzzo, y sus tres hijos junto a la alberca.
