SEATTLE - Commonly referred to as "The ATL," the city of Atlanta, Georgia, will be one of 14 hosts for Copa América 2024. One of the biggest cities in the American southeast landscape, Atlanta will be host to two games throughout the tournament, including the opening match between Lionel Messi's Argentina and Canada.
Atlanta has been one of the most important cities in the South for quite some time. The city was one of the biggest hubs in the U.S. during the railroad era and is regarded as one of the epicenters of the American Civil Rights Movement. Atlanta's metropolitan area is one of the ten biggest in the U.S. with more than 6.1 million people inhabiting the area (2023 estimate).
