Every soccer fan is having a fiesta with the 2016 Copa América Centenario games taking place for the first time in the United States.

The soccer tournament is a big deal for soccer aficionados, especially Latinos, who are all rooting for their national teams to take the trophy. Don't understand the commotion? Think World Cup fever.

This year's Copa features two confederations, Conmebol and CONCACAF. Other highlights include a reunion between 2015 Copa America finale teams Argentina and Chile and a Gold Cup 2015 final rematch between Mexico and Jamaica. The 2016 Copa America will run from June 3 - 26, with a total of 32 matches. The opening game is Colombia vs. United States.

Prior to the big sporting event, which will be played Friday, June 3 in Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, California, fans can enjoy J Balvin on stage, as he has been invited to kick off the 2016 Copa America opening ceremonies along with two other great music acts, Magic! and Jason Derulo.

The high-energy performance, featuring the Colombian urban singer, will begin at 6 p.m. PST ahead of the 100-year Copa America anniversary game between host nation United States and Colombia at 6:30 p.m. PST in the Levi's Stadium. The ceremonies and match will be televised live on FS1 and Univision.

Pitbull and Becky G, on the other hand, have teamed up once again to bring to life the official song of the 2016 Copa America called "Superstar." "Music is universal and soccer is the world's sport," said Pitbull in a press statement. "It's an honor to be a part of Copa America Centenario and collaborate with Becky G on 'Superstar.'"

We re pumped for the games and what better way to get in the spirit with some of the best soccer songs. Press play and let us get the pachanga started!
