2024 Copa América squads explained

The 2024 Copa América was an international soccer tournament held in the United States from June 20 to July 14, 2024. The sixteen participating national teams were required to register a squad of up to 26 players, including at least three goalkeepers.^[1] Only players in these squads were eligible to take part in the tournament.^[2]

On May 16, 2024, CONMEBOL announced an increase in the final squads from 23 to a maximum of 26 players.^[3] The decision was made by the CONMEBOL Council at the request of some member associations, and teams were able to opt for a final list of minimum 23 and maximum 26 players.^[4]

Each national team had to submit to CONMEBOL, via the COMET system, a provisional list with a minimum of 35 and a maximum of 55 players (including at least four goalkeepers) by May 5, 2024, 18:00 PYT (UTC−4) (Regulations Article 58). The final list or squad list of up to 26 players per national team had to be submitted to CONMEBOL by June 15, 2024, 18:00 PYT (UTC−4), a week prior to the start of the tournament. All players in the final selection had to be chosen from the respective provisional list (Regulations Article 60).

Once the final lists were submitted, teams were only permitted to make replacements in cases of serious injury, illness or for medical reasons up to 24 hours before the first match of the team in the competition. All substitutions had to be approved by the CONMEBOL Medical Commission and the replacement players had to come from the provisional list (Regulations Article 71).

The provisional lists were not published by CONMEBOL as they were only for internal use (only Chile and Venezuela published their complete provisional lists). The final squads were published by CONMEBOL on June 14, 2024.^[5]

The age listed for each player is as of June 20, 2024, the first day of the tournament. The numbers of caps and goals listed for each player do not include any matches played after the start of the tournament. The club listed is the club for which the player last played a competitive match prior to the tournament. The nationality for each club reflects the national association (not the league) to which the club is affiliated. A flag is included for coaches who are of a different nationality to their national team.
