The squads for the 2024 Copa América have now been confirmed, with five Fulham players involved.
🇯🇲 Bobby De Cordova-Reid (30 caps, 6 goals)
Making their third Copa América appearance, Jamaica will hoping to fare better this time around than they did in 2015 and 2016, losing all three group games on each occasion.
De Cordova-Reid made his international debut three years later, and is now arguably his nation’s most important player.
Jamaica qualified by virtue of reaching the CONMEBOL Nations League Semi-Finals, with De Cordova-Reid scoring the decisive penalty in their away goals aggregate victory over Canada in the Quarters.
Two of their 2024 Copa América group matches are in Texas, with those games against Mexico and Venezuela sandwiching a clash with Ecuador in Nevada.
🇨🇦 Luc De Fougerolles (1 cap, 0 goals)
The 2023/24 season was a special one for De Fougerolles, as he made his senior debuts for both Fulham and Canada.
Defeat to Jamaica in the Nations League complicated Canada’s quest to reach Copa América, but they beat Trinidad & Tobago 2-0 in their Play-Off to book their spot, with De Fougerolles coming off the bench in the closing stages.
The 18-year-old defender joins up with a squad featuring seasoned pros such as Alphonso Davies and Jonathan David, as they prepare for their Group A fixtures against holders Argentina, Peru and Chile.
🇧🇷 Andreas Pereira (5 caps, 1 goal)
Having racked up five friendly caps – four of which have come this calendar year – Andreas will be keen to make a first competitive appearance for Brazil, who go into the tournament as second favourites, behind holders Argentina.
Brazil qualify for the tournament automatically as one of the 10 CONMEBOL nations, and have been drawn in Group D alongside Colombia, Paraguay and Costa Rica.
Andreas opened his account for Brazil in style in their win over Mexico last week, and his competition for a central midfield place comes from a number of Premier League rivals in Douglas Luiz (Aston Villa), Bruno Guimaraes (Newcastle), Joao Gomes (Wolves) and Lucas Paqueta (West Ham).
🇺🇸 Tim Ream (58 caps, 1 goal)
Ream has played in a World Cup, Gold Cups, and Nations League for the United States Men’s National Team, but this summer will mark a first Copa América appearance for the veteran defender.
Having played every minute at the 2022 World Cup, the States will no doubt look to Ream’s leadership qualities once again in this tournament on home soil.
The States' group games have them travelling to Texas, Georgia and Missouri, where they’ll face Bolivia, Panama and Uruguay, respectively.
🇺🇸 Antonee Robinson (43 caps, 4 goals)
Fulham’s Player of the Season will hope to crown what has been a fantastic campaign with some more silverware this summer.
The States qualified for Copa América courtesy of their Nations League win earlier in the year, a tournament in which Robinson played every minute, scoring home and away against Trinidad & Tobago in the two-legged Quarter-Final.
Having made the left-back spot his own, Jedi could find himself up against the likes of Vinicius Junior and Rodrygo in the Quarters, if one of Brazil and the USMNT tops their group and one finishes second.
