The United States Men’s National Team is ready to take on the Americas. Today, U.S. Soccer announced the 26-man roster for the USMNT that will compete at the 2024 Copa América.
The roster has been together for a couple of weeks as they completed tune-up friendlies against Colombia and Brazil. Timmy Tillman was the only player on the friendly roster who does not make the final Copa América roster. The USMNT now gets ready for their opening match against Bolivia on June 23rd at AT&T Stadium in the Dallas area. They will also play Panama on June 27th at Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta and wrap up group play with a pivotal match against Uruguay on July 1st at Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City.
Every player on the roster has been previously named to a tournament roster for the USMNT, (World Cup, Gold Cup, 2016 Copa América, CNL Finals), which is remarkable considering that this is the second-youngest roster the United States has sent to a Copa América. Only the 2007 roster was younger.
Forward Josh Sargent remains on the roster despite concerns over his injury sustained late in the season for Norwich City. Should it be determined that Sargent is not healthy enough to play, a roster change can be made up to 24 hours before the start of the team’s opening match against Bolivia. The hope is that he will be ready to go in a week’s time.
The 26-player Copa América roster:
GOALKEEPERS (3): Ethan Horvath (Cardiff City), Sean Johnson (Toronto FC), Matt Turner (Nottingham Forest)
DEFENDERS (9): Cameron Carter-Vickers (Celtic FC), Kristoffer Lund (Palermo), Mark McKenzie (Genk), Shaq Moore (Nashville SC), Tim Ream (Fulham FC), Chris Richards (Crystal Palace), Antonee Robinson (Fulham FC), Miles Robinson (FC Cincinnati), Joe Scally (Borussia Mönchengladbach)
