The USA Copa America 2024 squad is gearing up for the tournament on home soil this summer, with the Stars and Stripes expecting a strong performance in front of their adoring fans.
Drawn into a group containing Bolivia, Panama and Uruguay, USA will certainly fancy their chances of reaching the knockout stages unscathed. On paper, they're arguably the strongest team in the group, and will have the added benefit of a home crowd at Copa America.
Plus, they have an abundance of quality within their Copa America 2024 squad, which has plenty of experience of success in recent years. Indeed, the United States have won the last two CONCACAF Nations Leagues, and two out of the last four Gold Cups. On the other two occasions they reached the final and semi-finals, highlighting their ability on the big stage.
But in 2024 USA still have plenty to prove, having won three and lost three when they hosted Copa America in 2016. Though they finished fourth - their joint-best finish in their four appearances in the tournament - the home crowd will expect them to challenge for the title this time around.

USA manager: Gregg Berhalter
Berhalter's first stint as USA manager started in 2018 and ended upon the expiry of his contract at the end of 2022, with the former USA centre-back picking up a Gold Cup and Nations League triumph during his time in charge. And when the USA couldn't find a suitable replacement for the 50-year-old, they reinstated him as manager in June 2023 - which clearly proved an inspired decision as they once again won the Nations League.
Defeat on penalties to Panama in last year's Gold Cup semi-finals would have hurt, but Berhalter only had a little over a week before the start of the tournament to get up to speed with his players again.
USA's star player
Christian Pulisic
Captain of the national team, Pulisic is a leader for USA in more ways than one. While his time at Chelsea didn't quite work out, he's settled in exceptionally at AC Milan and is a shoo-in to be one of the Copa America's best performers this summer.
Plus, with Tyler Adams, Folarin Balogun, Timothy Weah, Weston McKennie and Sergino Dest all a part of the squad, too, the USA undeniably have an incredibly strong group of players for their home tournament.
FAQs
How many players are USA allowed to take to Copa America 2024?
Following a couple of tournaments where teams were allowed to select 26 players in their squads, Copa America 2024 will revert to 23-man squads.
Brought in as a special measure due to the Covid-19 pandemic, those larger squads have now been scrapped by CONMEBOL and CONCACAF for this summer's tournament.
