Copa America title in 2024 on the US soil as the century-old prestigious tournament returns to the shores of America. While Messi-led Argentina defeated France to lift the soccer World Cup, «La Albiceleste» edged past Brazil in the Copa America final in 2021. South American football federation CONMEBOL has unveiled the 14 cities that will serve as hosts for matches at the 2024 Copa América, marking the tournament's return to the United States for the first time since 2016. The selected cities include Arlington, Las Vegas, Orlando, Miami Gardens, Santa Clara, Charlotte, East Rutherford, Austin, Atlanta, Inglewood, Houston, Glendale, and two stadiums in Kansas City. The tournament's inaugural match is scheduled to take place at Atlanta United's Mercedes-Benz Stadium, while the final will be hosted at Miami's Hard Rock Stadium. This marks only the second occasion, following the special centenary Copa América in 2016, that the tournament will be held outside of South America. Initially designated as the host, Ecuador withdrew in November 2022 due to economic and security concerns, along with a lack of suitable stadiums. The hosting of the 2024 Copa América stands as a significant boost for the USA as the nation prepares to co-host the 2026 World Cup alongside Canada and Mexico.

Daniel Noboa has managed to do what his father failed at five times: Getting elected as Ecuador’s president

An inexperienced politician and an heir to a fortune built on the banana trade has won Ecuador’s presidential runoff election

Daniel Noboa is Ecuador's next president, declaring victory on Sunday as the country's national electoral council said results pointed to an «irreversible» outcome and his rival conceded. Noboa was tallying more than 52% of the vote, while his leftist adversary Luisa Gonzalez had about 48%, with more than 90% of ballot boxes counted. Thirty five-year-old Noboa, a surprise qualifier for the run-off in the early election, has pledged to improve the economy and create jobs for young people, as well as to house dangerous criminals on prison ships. «Tomorrow we start work for this new Ecuador, we start working to rebuild a country seriously battered by violence, by corruption and by hate,» Noboa told supporters in the seaside town of Olon after clinching victory in a campaign marred by the murder of anti-corruption candidate Fernando Villavicencio. «From tomorrow Daniel Noboa starts work as your new president,» he added. His victory fulfills a long-held family ambition — he grew up accompanying his banana baron father Alvaro during the latter's multiple failed attempts to become president. Gonzalez congratulated Noboa on his victory. «Daniel Noboa, our profound congratulations, because this is democracy,» Gonzalez told supporters in Quito, calling on Noboa to fulfill his promises to students and the elderly. Noboa will face the significant challenge of righting an economy — which has struggled since the coronavirus pandemic and motivated many thousands of Ecuadoreans to migrate — and sharply rising crime, including increases in murders, robberies and prison riots. Noboa will have just 14 months to govern, serving a truncated term from December this year until May 2025. Re-election is generally not allowed in
