Brazil will play Colombia and Paraguay in the group stage of the 2024 Copa America tournament in the United States.

The draw for the tournament took place on Thursday evening in Miami, where the final will be played on July 14.

Jamaica was originally in the group. However, the Reggae Boyz were moved to Group B due to the rules involving two confederations. As a result, Costa Rica and Honduras will compete for the fourth slot in March.

The winner will then face Brazil in their opening match on June 24 in Inglewood, California.

Brazil, who won the tournament in 2019 and finished second in 2021, were the designated top-placed team in Group D but will play the tournament without star striker Neymar.
