How to Watch a Copa America 2024 Match in Orlando

The United States will once again host the Copa America and among the novelties of the tournament are several stadiums that will make their international debut. One of them is the Exploria Stadium, a venue that will bring the world's oldest national team championship to Orlando, and where you can enjoy tickets to see Chile vs Canada or Trinidad and Tobago or tickets to see Bolivia vs Panama.

Tickets for the Copa America are already available in Hellotickets. Prices depend on the stage of the competition, the rivals to be faced and the location of the seats. Keep up to date with all the information about the 2024 edition of the Copa America and do not miss any detail.

How to get tickets for the America's Cup 2024 in Orlando?

In Hellotickets you have all the tickets already on sale, including the final in Miami. When you enter you can search for your favourite national team and you will see all the matches played in each of the U.S. venues and their dates. For example, if you are in Orlando between 29 June and 1 July, you can buy:

• Tickets to see Chile vs. Canada or Trinidad and Tobago (Chile's opponent is yet to be determined).
• Tickets to seeBolivia vs Panama.

Also, keep in mind that the match schedule of the Copa America 2024 coincides with the summer in Orlando, which is high season in the city and has a large influx of tourists, so I advise you to buy tickets for the Copa America as early as possible as soon as they go on sale.

Orlando's Exploria Stadium will host two Copa America group stage matches. The first will pit Chile against CONCACAF's fifth-placed team, Canada and Trinidad and Tobago, on 29 June at 8 p.m. in the third matchday of Group A.

The stadium will also host the match between Bolivia and Panama to close Group C on 1 July at 9pm Eastern Standard Time. This match is key, as both teams can go into the final matchday of the opening zone with a chance of qualifying for the knockout stage.

Both matches pit teams from CONMEBOL and CONCACAF, the two confederations participating in the tournament, so you can expect to see the warmth of fans from very different countries at the stadium. Also, both Group A and Group C are very competitive zones, so every match counts when it comes to qualification.

Match dates and times for the Copa America matches in Orlando

Orlando is not one of the main venues for the Copa America 2024, but the Exploria Stadium will host CONMEBOL and CONCACAF teams on key dates to qualify for the knockout stage. The stadium will host Chile, Bolivia, Panama and the winner of the play-off in March for a place in Canada.

Chile

Chile are in the doldrums after failing to qualify for the last two World Cups, but the Copa America brings back good memories. In 2015 they won for the first time in their history and in 2016 they were two-time champions, precisely in the USA, where they beat Argentina in the final. Now they will share Group A in the 2024 edition and you have the opportunity to buy your tickets to see Chile in Orlando.

• Number of Copa America appearances... 40 editions.
• Best result in Copa América... two-time winners, the last one in 2016.
• Last Copa América result... quarter-finalist in the 2021 edition.

Bolivia

Bolivia is a historic Copa América team and was even champion in 1964, but they have not been able to transcend in recent years and their last performances have not been good. In any case, the United States is a good memory for them, as they played their last World Cup there in 1994. There is still time to book your tickets to see Bolivia against Panama.

• Number of Copa America appearances... 23 editions.
• Best result in Copa América... 1964 edition champion.
• Last Copa América result... eliminated in the first round in 2021.

Panama

Panama has only played the Copa América once and failed to get past the first round. In this edition they will be looking to break the jinx and repeat the feats of other CONCACAF teams, such as Honduras, who in the 2001 edition held in Colombia reached a historic third place. Book your tickets to watch Panama vs Bolivia and don't miss out on this historic moment.

• Number of Copa América participations... 1 edition.
• Best result in Copa América... First round, in 2016.
• Last Copa América result... first stage in 2016.

Canada

Canada were invited to play in the 2011 edition but decided to decline the offer citing security concerns and since then have not come close to playing in the Copa America until now, when they will play a play-off against Trinidad and Tobago in one of the best moments in their history, having played in the 2022 World Cup with several European football stars in the squad. If they win this match, those in attendance will be able to watch Canada play Chile.

• Number of Copa América appearances... none.
• Best result in Copa América... debutant.
• Last Copa América result... debutant.

Orlando will host the Copa America at Exploria Stadium, a venue opened in 2017 that seats 25,500 spectators. It is one of the smaller stadiums among those that will host the tournament and, except for the final of the CONCACAF Champions League 2020, it has not hosted major competitions. But now you can enjoy Copa America tickets at this venue.

Exploria Stadium is home to Orlando City SC, the team that is one of MLS's fixtures and is often overshadowed in the city's sporting scene by Orlando Magic's NBA games, but has grown a lot in recent years and continues to add stars to be a force to be reckoned with in the US league.

What are the best locations for Exploria Stadium?

Exploria Stadium has a square design with two tiers of bleachers, with the lower tiers offering a wider and closer view of the playing field. The upper tier offers more seats at cheaper rates, but you will also find boxes and special seats, which offer additional food and beverage services.

Just keep in mind that in order to get the best seats and get affordable prices, you will need to be on the lookout for tickets as soon as they go on sale. In the United States, ticket prices are dynamic, so the best alternative is to buy in advance, secure your place in the experience and freeze the price, which tends to increase for last-minute bookings.

How to get to Exploria Stadium?

• By bus... you can get there from downtown Orlando on bus services 8, 15, 20, 21, 25, 36 and 51 for a journey time of approximately 45 minutes.
• By car... you can get to the stadium from FL-408 in a 15-minute drive to the stadium parking area.

• High tourist traffic: June and July in Orlando coincide with the summer months, which are also the high season months in the city. So you will need to be aware that the number of tourists will be very high when it comes to buying tickets for the America's Cup.
• Limited capacity: Exploria Stadium is one of the Copa America 2024 venues with the smallest capacity, so the 25,500 seats for Chile' s match against Canada or Trinidad and Tobago and Bolivia's match against Panama will sell out quickly. Also, Florida has another venue in Miami, which is also where the final of the tournament will be played, so if you have no luck with tickets for the matches in Orlando you can appeal to this resource.
• Night time: Due to the high temperatures in the region during the summer, the matches will be played at night, so you can make the most of your visit to the city by enjoying other activities during the day.
• Bus, the best way to get there: It is the best alternative to get to the stadium, although this means of transport could be a bit crowded during the match days of the Copa America, so I advise you to take enough time to get to the stadium in advance. Also keep this in mind if you plan to visit Orlando by car and need to use the stadium car park.

The America's Cup coincides with the summer in Orlando, so there are plenty of things to do in the city while the world's oldest national team tournament is taking place, including taking part in the best tours of the city that will allow you to discover an alternative and natural profile of the region and all its surrounding attractions.

Enjoy a theme park

The city is a paradise of fun and among the best theme parks in Orlando you can visit Universal Studios, Crayola Experience, Disney World and also enjoy the water parks, including Aquatica, Island H2O and Legoland Florida. Just be aware that these plans are in high demand and Universal Studios tickets sell out quickly.

Take in a show in Orlando

If you're planning a multi-day stay after enjoying your America's Cup tickets, you'll be able to marvel at the best shows in town. These include Mango 's Tropical Cafe and, my personal favourite, Cirque du Soleil. Don't hesitate to book tickets to see the Cirque du Soleil show.

Get to know Orlando's surroundings

As well as being a spectacle in itself with its many attractions, Orlando is a great place to use as a base to explore the surrounding area once you've enjoyed your America's Cup tickets. Full day excursions from the city include:

• Visit the Everglades wetlands.
• Experience a safari experience in Wild Florida.
• See the Kennedy Space Center.
• Marvel at the colonial beauty of the town of St. Augustine.
