Probably home to the biggest superstars, there is not much to wait for in Copa America 2024. The biggest contest among the two American continents will be held in the United States, and several big stars are set to put in their valiant efforts.
Not only will some players put on a stellar effort for the first time, but many legends might be seen stepping onto the meadow for the last time in the tournament’s history.
Let’s take a look at the maestros alongside the other superstars in the making of Copa America 2024.
Angel Di Maria: The Argentine maestro is about to put an end to his international career. A true legend of the game will be in the hunt for a decent departing gift, though the Argentine coach would only find him suitable for a much-reduced role.
Weston McKennie:- The United States side is not often said to be loaded with superstars; however, McKennie can’t be left aside. The Juventus star has been having one of the finest seasons of his career, and his terrific run in the tournament would give the USA a very strong tournament run.
Endrick: The Brazilian who is set to make his debut soon for the Los Blancos. With a series of strong showings, no one would disagree that he deserves a spot in the starting XI. When put on, he can do wonders for Selaceo.
Luis Diaz: The Columbian forward, probably the only hope for the once-dominant Latin American side, the Liverpool forward would have a huge load to carry over his shoulders, as he would look to give Columbia a firm start while also looking to carry them as far as possible.
Darwin Nunez: Nunez is a constant surprise. In his day, he was the best finisher in modern football, while on the other hand, there is no worse player than him, as even the most obvious chance in front of the goal would be a chance missed by the Liverpool-aided Uruguayan star.

Christian Pulisic: The US captain has had the best of form in Serie A, which he can carry to his home soil. Probably, if Pulisic can fire with the ball, the USA is obviously in a better position to seek chances further into the tournament.
Federico Valverde:- The departure of legendary striker Edinson Cavani turned out to be disastrous for Uruguay until the Los Angeles superstar stepped forward to fill in his big shoes. Though he is yet in making, he has improved from time to time, and his excellence will be seen by the Uruguayan side in this Copa America as well.
Vinicius Jr.:- Though he doesn’t receive as much acclaim as Mbappe, Haaland, or even young players like Yamal, the Brazilian since his initial days has evolved to be the most reliable ever player of the generation. Still, under the shadows of Neymar, this is his first opportunity to star for the Selacao and create history in yellow, which is his repetitive act for the Los Blancos.
Julian Alvarez:- Since the 2022 World Cup, he has never seemed to step down from his irresistible form. Argentina already have a great bunch of players, and among them, Scaloni would look to emerge his best alongside Lionel Messi to help Argentina lift the Copa for the repetitive season.
Lionel Messi:- Some injury struggles, eyeing of international retirement, and many more, yet the GOAT remains to be the top choice for Copa 2024. Messi, with his dominance even for Inter Miami, is well aware of the US grounds, and the home crowd would also be in some way affectionate for the legend’s Copa journey in 2024.
