Venue

edit

Hard Rock Stadium in Miami Gardens, Florida, near the city of Miami, will host the final. It was confirmed as the host on November 20, 2023.[3] The United States had been announced as host in January 2023; the country had previously hosted the Copa América Centenario in 2016 with the final played at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey, near New York City (the stadium will also host the 2026 FIFA World Cup final).[4][5]

Hard Rock Stadium is primarily the home of the Miami Dolphins of the National Football League and has a grass surface and 65,000 seats.[6] It opened in 1987 and underwent major renovations from 2015 to 2017 that added a roof and other features.[7] The stadium is also a 2026 FIFA World Cup host venue.[6]

Shakira will be performing a 10-minute set during the half-time show of the final.[8][9]
