One of the biggest international sporting events is happening right now. And no, we’re not talking about the Olympics or the qualifying trials, we’re talking about the Copa América. The international tournament featuring teams from North and South America is happening now, with the final taking place on July 14. If you’re looking for spots that are showing the games or hosting Copa América watch parties, look no further. We rounded up the best 5 Tampa sports bars where you can catch the matches.

It’s been a long and crazy tournament so far, and we are currently in the semifinals. Unfortunately the U.S. team was knocked out in the 2nd round, losing to Panama. The final four teams are down to Argentina, Canada, Uruguay, and Columbia. With Argentina already setting their spot in the final from their 2-0 win against Canada last night. Which means the GOAT Lionel Messi will be heading to Miami to face Columbia. The Copa América final will be held at the Hard Rock Stadium in Miami.
