Copa América 2024 begins on 20 June and this year the soccer tournament – featuring men’s national teams from South America, North America and the Caribbean – is being hosted in the United States.
The US is home to people of mixed backgrounds and nationalities. And some fans watching the Copa this year have families with connections to different countries in the Americas – countries who may go head to head in hotly contested matches.
If you come from a “house divided”, with allegiances to multiple teams playing in the Copa América, we would love to hear from you about your family’s Copa drama this year, or the history of your family’s soccer rivalry.
