Bolivia Copa America 2024 squad: Antonio Carlos Zago's full team

The Bolivia Copa America 2024 squad has been confirmed ahead of the tournament. 

After failing to make it out of the group stages for the past three tournaments, Bolivia will hope to repeat their 2015 exploits by progressing to the knockout stages this time around. While expecting to win the tournament, as they did in 1963, or reaching the final (1997) is surely beyond the reach of the South American nation, there's no reason they can't cause an upset.

Indeed, with a squad largely comprised of players plying their trade in their home country, Bolivia head to Copa America 2024 with a close-knit group just hoping this year might be theirs. 

It's not beyond the realms of possibility, either. With the USA, Mexico and Panama drawn into their group, automatically qualifying for the next round could prove tough. Finishing as one of the best-placed teams to finish third in their group is something they can definitely aim for, especially considering Panama only qualified for the tournament via the playoffs.

Bolivia manager: Antonio Carlos Zago

Appointed the head coach of Bolivia in October 2023, Antonio Carlos Zago enjoyed a successful playing career before turning to management over a decade ago. After spending the majority of his coaching career in his native Brazil, Zago then enjoyed a successful period at Bolivar, catching the attention of the Bolivia national team. A win against Peru in his first game offers promising signs, which Zago will hope to carry over into the tournament. 

Bolivia's star player

Ramiro Vaca

Following the retirement of stalwart Marcelo Martins, Vaca has emerged as the most important player for Bolivia. Playing an advanced midfield position, the 24-year-old takes games by the scruff of the neck at the national side with his creativity. 

Someone with a keen eye for goal, Vaca will be essential for Bolivia's chances in making it out of the group stages in the United States.
