The 48th edition of Copa América takes place this summer in the United States of America. The tournament is the South American version of UEFA's Euros, but since the 1990's teams from North America and Asia have also been invited to compete. Along with the usual 10 South American (CONMEBOL) nations, 6 countries qualified for this year's tournament through the CONCACAF (North and Central American and Caribbean) Nations League competition.
I believe that Brighton and Hove Albion have only had one player represent the club at this tournament in the past, with Moises Caicedo and Ecudaor reaching the quarter-finals in 2021.
This summer Albion have three representatives at the tournament:-
Tom McGill (Canada)
Jeremy Sarmiento (Ecuador)
Julio Enciso (Paraguay)
The competition gets underway on Thursday when Canada face World Cup winners Argentina.
Ecuador (and Jeremy Sarmiento) play their first group fixture (against Venezuela) on Saturday and Paraguay (with Julio Enciso) kick-off their campaign against Colombia next Monday.
