Summer is now officially soccer season.
From June 20 through July 14, Copa América, the legendary fútbol tournament that’s been going strong since 1916 (!), will take place at U.S. stadiums for just the second time in its 108-year history.
This go-round, 16 national teams will compete including Lionel Messi’s Argentina, the mighty Brazil, heavy hitter Uruguay and yes, the United States.
While no matches take place inside New York state lines, there are three huge games scheduled at East Rutherford, NJ’s MetLife Stadium.
First up, Chile and Argentina square off on Tuesday, June 25.
After that, Uruguay and Bolivia meet up on Thursday, June 27. Finally, a TBD Semifinal hits the Meadowlands on Tuesday, July 9.
The Final is set to take place July 14 at Miami, FL’s Hard Rock Stadium.
