The 2022 World Cup champs are seeking their second straight Copa América trophy after winning the 2021 competition. Argentina won each match in the group stage this year before defeating Ecuador on penalties in the quarterfinals.
Canada is looking to keep its impressive run alive under American head coach Jesse Marsch. After advancing out of Group A, the team defeated Group B winners Venezuela on penalties in the quarterfinals. The nation has not won a trophy in any international soccer competition since winning the 2000 CONCACAF Gold Cup.
