Mexico at Copa America 2024: squad, group, schedule, kits and odds to win

On 21 June, the main event in American football will begin in the USA - 16 best teams from North and South America will start the fight for the Copa América title.

The Dailysports team tells you about one of the participants of the tournament - the Mexican national team.

What is Mexico's highest achievement in Copa América history?

The Mexican national team has participated in ten Copa América, which is the highest of any CONCACAF team. "The Tricolours" have twice stopped one step away from triumph (in 1993 and 2001), which makes the team more successful even for CONMEBOL member Venezuela.

Who was included in the Mexico national team's Copa América bid?

Mexico head coach Jaime Lozano has already submitted the team's final bid for the Copa América, which consists of the following players:

• Goalkeepers: Carlos Acevedo (Santos Laguna), Raul Rangel (Chivas), Julio González (Pumas)
• Defenders: Israel Reyes (Club América), Jorge Sánchez (Porto), Brian García (Toluca), César Montes (Almeria), Johan Vásquez (Genoa), Jesús Orozco (Chivas), Gerardo Arteaga (Monterrey), Bryan González (Pachuca)
• Midfielders: Edson Álvarez (West Ham United), Luis Romo (Monterrey), Érick Sánchez (Pachuca), Orbelín Pineda (AEK Athens), Roberto Alvarado (Chivas), Luis Chávez (dinamo moscow), Carlos Rodríguez (Cruz Azul), Jordi Cortizo (Monterrey)
• Forwards: Marcelo Flores (Tigres), César Huerta (Pumas), Julian Quiñones (Club América), Santiago Giménez (Feyenoord), Alexis Vega (Toluca), Uriel Antuna (Cruz Azul), Guillermo Martínez (Pumas)

Who is the head coach of the Mexican national team?

The actions of Mexican footballers since August 2023 are managed by domestic specialist Jaime Lozano. Both as a footballer and as a coach, he spent his career exclusively at home.

Despite such a short stint with the Mexican national team, he has already managed to achieve success, triumphing at last year's CONCACAF Gold Cup, and this year he reached the final of the local Nations League.

From 2018-2021, he worked with Mexico's youth team, and with them, he won bronze at the Tokyo Olympics.

How did Mexico qualify for the Copa América 2024?

Before this Copa América, Mexico was an invited team and did not have to qualify. The Tricolours qualified for this tournament by reaching the final four of the CONCACAF Nations League.

What is the schedule of matches in Mexico's group at the Copa América 2024?

The Mexicans will play Ecuador, Venezuela and Jamaica at the tournament.

• 23.06 03:00 Mexico - Jamaica (NGR Stadium. Houston, Texas)
• 27.06 03:00 Venezuela - Mexico (SoFi Stadium. Inglewood, California)

What kit will Mexico play in at the Copa América 2024?

The Mexican national team can obviously be given the prize for one of the most original kits, not only for the Copa América, but basically for all the big tournaments that are taking place this year.

Both kits are made by the manufacturer Adidas. The home jersey resembles the feathers of a peacock, which is part of Mexican mythology. The away kit is also inspired by local ethnicity and has a rather distinctive pattern.

What are the odds on the Mexican national team at the Copa América 2024?

In their quartet, Mexico are the clear favourites. With odds of 2.10 bookmakers assign the "tricolour" the first place in the group. The Mexicans have a pretty good chance of triumphing at the whole tournament, with odds of 12.
