The Brazilian Football Confederation has defined a preliminary list of 40 players for the Copa América Centenário, which will be played between 3 and 26 June, in the United States.
The meeting was attended by coach Dunga, his assistant Andrey Lopes, and team coordinator Gilmar Rinaldi.
The tournament’s rule requires all participating teams to send a list of 40 players to CONMEBOL within April 29. Then on May 5, Dunga will reveal the final 23 players he’s chosen, including three goalkeepers.
A possible replacement for an injury can be picked from the 40-man list, if a medical report is presented.
The Brazilian team starts their preparations in Los Angeles, on May 23. The opening game is scheduled for June 4 against Ecuador. They then takes on Haiti on the 8th, and Peru, on the 12th.
The main absentee from Brazil’s squad is Barcelona forward Neymar. Despite repeated attempts, the Brazilian football federation failed to convince Barcelona to release the player for two competitions, and he will play only in the Olympics.
