Mexico Copa America 2024 squad: Jaime Lozano's full team
The Mexico Copa America 2024 squad has been announced
The Mexico Copa America 2024 squad will make a return to the South American tournament.
They come into the tournament full of confidence, having won the 2023 Gold Cup last summer while also reaching the final of the CONCACAF Nations League recently, too. Though they were beaten by the USA on that occasion, Mexico will have learned how to play their opponents on home soil - which be vital for this summer.
Plus, the Mexico Copa America 2024 squad is full of talent, with Edson Alvarez joined by the likes of Hirving Lozano, Santiago Gimenez and Jorge Sanchez to create a well-balanced team capable of going all the way.
Drawn into a group containing Venezuela, Ecuador and Jamaica, Mexico could comfortably escape to the knockout stages unscathed.

Mexico manager: Jaime Lozano
Formerly the Mexico U23 manager, Lozano spent less than a season at Mexican side Necaxa before the national team came calling in June 2023. Appointed in June 2023, the 45-year-old had to get his feet under the table quickly ahead of a fast-approaching Gold Cup - and he didn't do too badly, beating Panama 1-0 in the final to win the tournament. Lozano will hope for more of the same this summer.
Mexico's star player
Edson Alvarez
If Alvarez is unavailable, then Mexico might as well wave goodbye to any chance they have of success in the United States. Their midfield metronome, Alvarez sets the tempo for the side while providing a defensive solidity that is essential at international level. Still only 26, Alvarez has already made 76 appearances for his country, highlighting just how important he is to the side.
