Argentina will be looking to continue their impressive streak of trophies with another Copa America title bid in the USA this summer.

Lionel Scaloni's side pulled level with Uruguay in the all-time Copa America title list in 2021, as they beat arch rivals Brazil in the final in Rio de Janeiro, to clinch a 15th continental crown.

That was backed up by a first FIFA World Cup since 1986, in Qatar in 2022, as the inspirational Lionel Messi finally lifted the biggest trophy of them all in international football.

They started their Copa America adventure with a 2-0 win over Canada, and are now up and running in their bid for the title after first qualifying for the knockout stages by following up with a late 1-0 win against Chile and then a 2-0 victory over Peru, before they snatched a penalty shootout win over Ecuador to seal a place in the semifinal.

When is Argentina's Copa America 2024 semifinal game?

Argentina began their Copa America 2024 campaign with a win against Canada at the Mercedes-Benz Stadium, and then beat Chile on June 25.

Next up was a meeting with Peru on June 29. They were already guaranteed of a spot in the quarterfinals, and ended up winning comfortably to top their pool.

That meant they next played the runner-up in Group B, Ecuador, in the quarterfinals, on July 4. It looked like they were heading for a narrow 1-0 win until Kevin Rodriguez equalised in injury time. That forced the game to penalty kicks, with Messi missing in the shootout.

But goalkeeper Emi Martinez — the hero at Qatar 2022 when Argentina won the World Cup — came up big again, as he saved twice in the shootout to send Argentina through.

Argentina will next face either Venezuela or Canada in the semifinal, with that game taking place on July 9.
