The Copa América is the oldest still-running continental football tournament in the world, but whilst it's first 44 editions, spanning almost 100 years, were hosted in South America, two of the last four Copas have been hosted by the United States of America.
The 2024 Copa América, like the Copa América Centenario in 2016, isn't just being hosted by the United States, but also features six CONCACAF national teams, alongside the ten from CONMEBOL.
It's a strange, but revealing, dynamic, which speaks to the way in which football is changing - and so, in this video, HITC Sevens takes a look at the slightly unusual 2024 Copa América, why it is controversial, and what it tells us about the direction in which football - or soccer - is heading.
