Chris Richards Confirmed in United States 2024 Copa América Squad

Crystal Palace defender, Chris Richards, secures his spot in the United States squad for the 2024 Copa América tournament after an impressive season in club competition.

Having been initially included in Gregg Berhalter’s provisional selection, Richards featured in recent friendlies against Colombia and Brazil before making the final 26-man roster.

The 24-year-old, who notched his first goal for Crystal Palace versus Burnley, will aim to bolster his tally of 18 international caps during the upcoming group-stage matches.

The 2024 Copa América will be hosted by the United States for just the second time in history, with proceedings set to take place in various locations across the country, including Texas, Atlanta, and Kansas City.

United States finds themselves in Group C alongside teams like Bolivia, Panama, and Uruguay, setting the stage for exciting showdowns in the early competition.

If they progress past the group phase, the US team could potentially face familiar foes such as Colombia in the knockout stages, potentially pitting Richards against his Crystal Palace colleagues, Daniel Muñoz and Jefferson Lerma.

Before the Copa América, the United States secured their third consecutive CONCACAF Nations League title with impressive victories over Jamaica and Mexico in the semi-final and final, respectively.

With an eye towards the 2026 World Cup on home soil, Richards and his national teammates will be looking to deliver a strong performance on the Copa América stage.
