Bolivia at the 2024 Copa América
Background
1963 was a special year for Bolivia in tournament history. The country not only hosted the South American Championship for the first time, but also reached the final, where they lost to Brazil.
Since then, Bolivia has participated in the Copa América 27 times, but has never won the tournament. Their best result came in 1997, when they finished second to Brazil.
2024 Copa América Squad
Bolivia's squad for the 2024 Copa América was announced on June 10, 2024. The squad includes 23 players, including several who play in Europe.
The most notable omission from the squad is Marcelo Martins, Bolivia's record scorer. Martins has been struggling with injuries in recent months and is not fit enough to play in the tournament.
Expectations
Expectations are low for Bolivia at the 2024 Copa América. The team is ranked 82nd in the FIFA World Rankings, and they have not won a match in the tournament since 2015.
Bolivia will face Uruguay, Chile, and Ecuador in the group stage. They will need to finish in the top two in their group in order to advance to the knockout stage.
