Argentina will begin their quest for the Copa America title in the United States with a match against Canada on June 21. Before landing in the US, Coach Lionel Scaloni finalized his squad for this tournament. Leading Argentina will be 37-year-old superstar Lionel Messi, who has been the flagship of Argentina in their journey to conquer the World Cup 2022. A year earlier, he secured his first Copa America title. El Pulga’s mission is nothing less than leading Argentina to win Copa America 2024.
Copa America 2024 promises record-breaking prize money. According to ESPN, the total prize pool for this tournament is $72 million, with the champions set to receive $16 million. Should Argentina triumph, they will earn a prize significantly higher, double the $6.5 million they received when they claimed the title in 2021.
Copa America 2024 will take place from June 20 to July 14 and is jointly organized by the South American Football Confederation (CONMEBOL) and the North, Central American and Caribbean Confederation (CONCACAF). This marks the second time the expanded tournament is held, following its first edition in 2016. The tournament organizers will cover expenses such as hotels, flights, and ground transportation for the teams.
Argentina will compete in Group A and face Canada on June 21. They have selected a strong squad including stars like Alex M. Alister from Liverpool, Julian Alvarez from Manchester City, and goalkeeper Emiliano Martinez from Aston Villa. The list also includes Enzo Fernandez, who is currently recovering from injury and may join the team in the US.
Meanwhile, Lionel Messi turned down a lucrative €1.4 billion offer from Al Hilal to join Inter Miami, surprising Al Hilal’s President who stated they tried to convince Messi but he declined due to family reasons wanting to move to the US. Messi has attracted interest from several clubs since leaving PSG, although rumors persist about a potential return to Barcelona.
Former Spanish player Fernando Llorente has asserted that Lamin Jaman is truly superior to Messi at the age of 16. Jaman has achieved remarkable feats with Barcelona and the national team, establishing himself as a promising young talent with numerous records in his notable career.
Meanwhile, Messi’s eldest son Thiago has chosen between Argentina and Spain for his future. At 11 years old, Thiago is the oldest of Messi and Antonella’s three sons. He expressed pride in his Argentine roots and decided to pick the national team he loves to develop his career.
