Brazil has unveiled their squad for the 2024 Copa America, with coach Dorival Junior’s selections stirring some intrigue among Selecao supporters.
Notable absentees from the Premier League include Richarlison and Casemiro, while attention is drawn to the inclusion of 17-year-old Endrick, set to make his debut in international competition.
This year’s tournament presents an opportunity for Brazil to reaffirm their dominance in North and South America. The Selecao faced challenges in late 2023, suffering three consecutive defeats in 2026 World Cup qualifiers, including a loss to world champions Argentina on home turf.
However, a recent victory over England at Wembley Stadium and an exhilarating draw against Spain during the March international break injected fresh momentum into the team, hinting at progress under Dorival Jr., who assumed the role of permanent head coach in January.
While Brazil may not boast the same level of prowess seen in past major tournaments, notably missing star forward Neymar due to injury, they remain formidable contenders for glory at this summer’s event in the United States.
Dorival Junior unveiled his Copa America squad on Friday, May 10, at 11 a.m. ET, announcing the roster at the headquarters of the Brazilian Football Confederation (CBF) in Rio de Janeiro.
