SOUTH WINDSOR, CT--(Marketwired - Feb 21, 2016) - The 2016 Copa America Centenario official draw has wrapped up and the tournament's group stage matchups are now set. Tickets for the 2016 Copa America are available for purchase on TicketNetwork.com for each of the tournament's games. The Copa America Centenario will pit 16 men's national teams against each other in a modified version of Copa America that's set to take place in the United States for the first time. Expected to be one of the most attended sporting events of the year, the one-of-a-kind event will combine the national soccer teams from CONMEBOL and CONCACAF, both of which will compete at 10 stadiums across the country.
Prior to the draw, only the United States, Mexico, Brazil, and Argentina had their schedules in place for the group portion of the tournament. Each of those teams were placed into separate groups, which meant none of the four countries knew who their group stage opponents would be. Now that the draw has concluded, the remaining 12 teams have been placed into Group A, Group B, Group C, or Group D, thus creating the final group stage schedule for Copa America Centenario.
"Before the draw, some fans were hesitant to buy Copa America Centenario group stage tickets because they didn't know who would be playing whom," says Jordan Wells, Sports Specialist with TicketNetwork. "Now that all of the group stage matchups are set, many of those fans will begin purchasing tickets for a chance to see the biggest stars in soccer."
