How does the Copa América Final Draw work?

Copa América organizers will draw teams to fill out four groups that will play against each other in the group stage.

The 16 sides have been divided into four pots, grouped by FIFA rankings with the exception of pot 1. Countries in pot 1 were assigned to the pot by being either the highest ranked team in the confederation or by winning the most recent continental tournament.

These teams have been given their group assignments and begin the group stage in the first position. The teams in pot 1 include: Argentina (A1, defending Copa America champion), Brazil (D1, highest FIFA ranking in CONMEBOL), Mexico (B1, Gold Cup champion) and the United States (C1, highest FIFA ranking in CONCACAF).
