Brazil and Mexico’s national soccer teams will play in two of three scheduled tournament games at the Rose Bowl for next summer’s Copa Centenario, organizers of the tournament announced Thursday. The opponents and the teams that will play the third game in will be announced early next year when the final draw is made.
Brazil and Mexico are two of the most popular soccer teams in the world and are likely to feature their top players, like Neymar and Javier Hernandez, better know by his nickname “Chicharito.” The tournament marks the 100th anniversary of the Copa America tournament.
The United States is the top seed in Group A and will host the tournament opener at Santa Clara on June 3, organizers said Thursday. The Americans play at Chicago four days later and at Philadelphia on June 11.
If the U.S. wins its group, its path to the final would include a quarterfinal at Seattle and a semifinal at Houston. If the Americans finish second, their route would be a quarterfinal at East Rutherford and a semifinal at Chicago.
Brazil heads Group B and plays at Pasadena, California (June 4), Orlando, Florida (June 8) and Foxborough (June 12).
Mexico is seeded in Group C and plays at Glendale (June 5), Pasadena (June 9) and Houston (June 13).
Argentina tops Group D and plays at Santa Clara (June 6), Chicago (June 10) and Seattle (June 14).
