5 best teams who can win Copa America

This time, the tournament will be played by the joint teams of CONMEBOL and CONCACAF which means there will be more competitiveness. We’ve seen a better record of CONMEBOL teams in this competition and they are likely to dominate this edition. However, 5 teams are favorites to lift the ultimate trophy of South American football.

5. Mexico

Despite playing 11 editions of the Copa America, Mexico has yet to win its first title. They were very close to winning the trophy in 1993 and 2001 when they reached the final but failed to win. This time, they are one of the top 5 favorites to win the trophy.

Although they did not play in the last 2 editions they still have the caliber to reach the last 4 round in this edition. Cesar Montes, Jorge Sanchez, Jesus Gallardo, Edson Alvarez, Luis Romo, Roberto Alvarado, and Santiago Gimenez are the players to watch.

4. Colombia

The one-time Champions of the competition are capable of repeating the history of 2001. La Tricolor finished the last edition of Copa America in third place which makes them a strong contender this time. A well-experienced and young squad guided by captain James Rodriguez will have a huge responsibility.

Colombia have David Ospina as the main goalkeeper. For defense, they have Daniel Munoz, Santiago Arias, and Johan Mojica whereas midfielders like James Rodriguez, Jefferson Lerma, and Juan Fernando Quintero are at their best. Don’t forget Liverpool’s Luis Diaz who is one of the best forwards in this competition.

3. Uruguay

The joint most successful team of Copa America is again a favorite of the tournament. Uruguay have played a total of 45 editions and won 15 of them. La Celeste is currently the 15th-best team in the world according to FIFA rankings.

Uruguay’s team squad is loaded with many high profiles like Liverpool’s Darwin Nunez, Real Madrid’s Federico Valverde, and Barcelona’s Ronald Araujo. They’ll be assisted by Luciano Rodriguez, Facundo Pellistri, Manuel Ugarte, and Nicolas de la Cruz to extract the best out of the team.

2. Brazil

The Vice-Champions of the previous editions are the 2nd most favorites in Copa America 2024. Brazil won it in 2019 and again reached the final in 2021. They were undefeated in the last edition until they met Argentina in the final. This time under the management of new coach Dorival Junior, Selecao are desperate to repeat the history of 2019.

Brazil have one of the best squads in this competition with the likes of Real Madrid duo Vinicius Junior and Rodrygo. West Ham’s Lucas Paqueta, Aston Villa’s Douglas Luiz, Barcelona’s Raphina, and Tottenham’s Richarlison make this team competent to win the trophy in the United States.
