The fierce defeat against Colombia in the Semifinals saw them fail to reach their final tournament match, but they remain eager to reach the podium and leave this edition with a win.
In this match Uruguay has the advantage against rival Concacaf at CONMEBOL Copa AmericaTM. However, La Celeste has never won in their last three elimination games to win third place. They lost 1-3 to Mexico in their 2007 third place, drew 2-2 against Honduras and lost on penalties in their 2001 third place race, and lost 1-2 to Mexico in the 2001 semifinals.
Uruguay himself has participated in three third-place games at CONMEBOL Copa AmericaTM, recording a different result each time: winning (2-1 against Colombia in 2004), drawing (2-2 against Honduras in 2001 losing on penalties), and losing (1-3 against Mexico in 2007). Victory in 2004 represented Uruguay's second-best campaign in Copa in the 21st century (only lost to the title in 2011).
Canada could be the third Concacaf country to achieve a positive result in a third place match, after Mexico (in 1997, 1999, and 2007) and Honduras (won on penalties in 2001). If successful, Canada will have the second best campaign from countries outside CONMEBOL in its Copa AmericaTM debut, matching Honduras in 2001 and losing only to Mexico in 1993 (runner-up).
In the two editions of CONMEBOL Copa AmerricaTM organized by the state of Concacaf, the team from the confederation participated in the match for third place (US in 2016, Canada in 2024). The US national team lost to Colombia in 2016 (0-1).
Uruguay had the highest average shot per match among teams to reach the Copa America 2024 (14.6) semifinals. On the other hand, Canada had the lowest average among the four teams (9.8). Both teams recorded similar shot accuracy during the tournament: 32.9% for Uruguay and 32.7% for Canada.
