The pots have been revealed ahead of the Copa America 2024 draw on Thursday.
Instead of the usual 10 countries, there will be 16 teams this time around.
Six CONCACAF nations will compete at the tournament, following the confederation’s strategic alliance with CONMEBOL, which was established in January.
Pot A comprises the four top-ranked teams from CONMEBOL and CONCACAF, namely Mexico, Argentina, the United States, and Brazil. Consequently, neither the United States nor Mexico, two bitter rivals, will meet in the Group Stage. The same goes for Brazil and Argentina as well.
When it comes to Pot B, most people would want to stay away from Uruguay and Colombia. The four countries of Ecuador, Peru, Colombia, and Uruguay make up Pot B. Members of Pot C are Jamaica, Panama, Colombia, and Chile.
Paraguay and Peru, meanwhile, are the only teams certain of a spot in Pot D. One team from Trinidad and Tobago or Canada will round out the group, as well as one from Honduras and Costa Rica.
Every one of the four groups will get one team from the pot. The countries will face off against each other once in the group round, with the two best teams from each section advancing to the quarterfinals.
