Seattle Reign FC News Release


SEATTLE - All 2016 Reign FC Season Ticket Members who purchase Season Tickets before January 8, 2016 will be eligible to purchase tickets for the Copa América Centenario during a preferred access sale in January. More information on the ticket allocation process will be communicated in the coming weeks.

Reign FC Season ticket packages for the upcoming 2016 season start at just $180. Fans looking to purchase tickets can call (855) REIGN-FC or visit reignfc.com/seasontix today.

Copa America Centenario is coming to Seattle in 2016 with three matches will take place at CenturyLink Field right here in the Emerald City on June 4, June 14, and June 16. The home stadium for Seattle Sounders FC will host two matches in the group stage and one in the quarterfinal round, as announced Thursday by U.S. Soccer, the Confederation of North, Central America and Caribbean Association Football (CONCACAF), the South American Football Confederation (CONMEBOL) and the Copa America Centenario Local Organizing Committee (LOC).

Currently ranked No. 2 in the world in the FIFA/Coca-Cola World Rankings, Argentina will be seeded atop Group D and will play a group stage game on June 14 at CenturyLink Field, with the opponent to be determined during the tournament draw in 2016. Fans can visit www.CA2016.com for more information.

Seattle will also host a game between two opponents in Group B on June 4, as well as a quarterfinal game on June 16 between the top finisher from Group A and the runner-up in Group B. The two opponents for the match on June 4 will be determined in next year's draw, but there is a chance Seattle fans could see the United States play at CenturyLink Field for the first time in three years in the quarterfinal round.

As the host nation, the United States earns the Group A seed, while Argentina, as the highest FIFA-ranked nation in the Americas (per December FIFA rankings), will be seeded top of Group D.

In celebration of the rich soccer tradition in the hemisphere and as the most decorated nations in the last 100 years in international competitions from their respective confederations, the national teams of Brazil and Mexico have also been awarded group seeds, and will head Groups B and C, respectively.

The remaining 12 participating nations will be sorted into the four groups in early 2016 based on a public draw. Details of groups and procedures for the draw will be announced leading up to that event.

Seattle was selected as one of 10 cities and venues to host the 2016 Copa America Centenario alongside Boston, Chicago, Houston, Los Angeles, New York, Orlando, Philadelphia, Phoenix, and San Francisco.

From CONCACAF, host United States and Mexico are automatic qualifiers, while Costa Rica (2014 Central American Cup winner) and Jamaica (2014 CFU Caribbean Cup winner) qualified with regional championships last year.

The final two teams from CONCACAF will be determined in a double-header playoff set to be played Jan. 8, 2016, in Panama City. Trinidad & Tobago will face Haiti, and Panama squares off against Cuba with the winners qualifying for the Copa America Centenario.

The South American field for the tournament features Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Ecuador, Paraguay, Peru, Uruguay and Venezuela. Uruguay has been crowned champion of the Copa America a record 15 times, while Chile won its first title at this past year's edition, which it hosted.

CONCACAF and CONMEBOL have partnered for the historic 2016 Copa America tournament, setting a new standard for inter-confederation cooperation in the Americas and worldwide. The Copa America Centenario Local Organizing Committee, formed by tournament host U.S. Soccer, is a separate entity responsible for certain logistical and organizational details of the competition.
