A two-time champion of the world's oldest national team tournament and the top scorer in La Roja's history, the Wonder Boy was chosen as the best player of the 2016 edition, also held in the United States.

Claudio Bravo

An absolute South American legend, the Chilean goalkeeper arrives in the United States at 41 years old after a good season with Real Betis (Spain). He has played in six editions of the tournament and, like Alexis, was a champion in 2015 and 2016 (named the best goalkeeper of the tournament). He is in the Top 10 players with the most appearances in the CONMEBOL Copa América™.




James Rodríguez

Paolo Guerrero

At 40 years old, the forward - who is already the top scorer in the history of his national team - is seeking four more records at CONMEBOL Copa América 2024™. He was a runner-up in 2019, and has been the tournament's top scorer three times in the five tournaments he has played. Last season, he wore the colors of club team, César Vallejo (Peru).


The CONMEBOL Copa América United States 2024™ is approaching, and several of its legends could have their last appearance in the centenary tournament.
