Houston could host yet another major soccer event next year.

Copa America 2024 will return to the United States next summer, and local stakeholders have received communication from the event organizers about hosting matches for the tournament, said David Fletcher, general manager for event management company Lone Star Sports and Entertainment. Houston officials are reviewing the current information, but Fletcher confirmed that the city is looking for opportunities to participate again.

“Certainly we are going to explore every avenue we can for Houston to participate in that event,” Fletcher told the Houston Business Journal. “It’s in line with our continued efforts to bring the biggest sporting events in the world to Houston.”
