Copa America 2024 Trophy Details
The 2024 Copa America tournament has been a showcase of the best talent from South America, North America, and Central America, with ten representatives from CONMEBOL and six invited guests from CONCACAF competing for the prestigious trophy. As the final between Argentina and Colombia approaches at the Hard Rock Stadium in Miami, all eyes are on the coveted prize up for grabs.
The Copa America trophy holds a rich history, dating back to its inaugural edition in 1916 when Uruguay emerged victorious. Crafted by the Casa Escasany brothers, the trophy was a symbol of national pride and football excellence, standing at 75 centimeters high, weighing 9 kilos, and made of gold, silver, copper, and wood.
Over the years, the trophy has undergone changes and enhancements, with a base added in 1979 to accommodate the plates of champion countries. In 2024, the trophy has been restored to its former glory, weighing 11.88 kilos and ready to be lifted by the victorious team in Miami on July 14 after a 23-year absence.
In a special edition of the tournament in 2016, the Copa America Centenario featured a unique trophy designed by Epico Studios and manufactured by Thomas Lyte. Made of metal with a silver interior finish and 24-carat satin gold plating on the outside, the trophy won by Chile measured 61 centimeters in height and weighed 7.1 kilos, marking a historic milestone in the tournament’s history.
As the 2024 Copa America final approaches, the legacy of the iconic trophy continues to inspire and unite football fans across the Americas. Stay tuned for all the exciting action as Argentina and Colombia battle it out for the prestigious title at the Hard Rock Stadium, with the chance to lift the historic trophy once again.
