The United States men’s national team is preparing to begin its largest international soccer tournament at home in 30 years, as the 2024 Copa América will be played across the United States.
Looking ahead to the 2026 FIFA World Cup, which will also be held in the United States, the USMNT will know that this summer’s competition is of utmost importance, not only for the results of this particular competition, but also for show that they are ready. compete in front of their own fans two years from now for the biggest prize of all.
Head coach Gregg Berhalter led the United States to a last-16 finish at the 2022 World Cup, but a lopsided loss to the Netherlands left the USMNT searching for answers. The United States has yet to prove that it can compete with the world’s top nations on the biggest stage, and this Copa América is a great place to gain that experience.
With the tournament quickly approaching, The Jugo Mobile breaks down when rosters will be released and when Berhatler will determine the best 23 players to take to the Copa América.
When are the Copa América squads published?

However, most federations make a public announcement of their squads before the official deadline.
When will the United States publish its official squad for the Copa América?
While final rosters are due June 12, US head coach Gregg Berhalter will likely release his roster before then as there is recent precedent for such an event.
For example, rosters for the 2022 World Cup were due to be submitted to FIFA by Nov. 14, but US Soccer unveiled its official 26-player roster for the tournament in Qatar on Nov. 9 at an event in the city of NY.
